ALMOST 40 stolen garden tubs have been recovered by Kidder-minster police.

They were believed to have been taken from gardens in the Land Oak and Hurcott Road area of the town during the past fortnight.

PC Bob Fernall, Kidderminster beat manager, said: "Some of the owners have contacted police to report their pots have been stolen and we will be getting in touch with them.

"However, we believe there are others who have not contacted us and we would like them to get in touch so we can give the pots back."

Anyone with information on the stolen 39 tubs can contact Kidderminster police on 08457 444888.

A man was arrested on suspicion of theft and was helping officers with their inquiries.
