Keanie Park
AN investigation is underway after lawnmowers were stolen from Johnstone Burgh Football Club.
Police have said that, at around 2.30am on Saturday, a metal chain at the club’s Keanie Park ground was cut by thieves.
The crooks then broke a lock on a metal container and took a ride-on mower, worth an estimated £2,000.
This was later recovered in nearby Bluebell Woods.
Three other hand-held Flymo lawnmowers, each worth around £100, were also taken. These have not yet been recovered.
Police have said they are examining CCTV footage from the area in a bid to catch the culprits.
Anyone with information is asked to call officers on 101. Alternatively, ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.
