Three bronze statues have been stolen from a property near Tenterden.

Police are investigating after the rabbit figures were taken from a garden in Wittersham on Sunday.

It was reported that at around 8.45pm the large statues – weighing around 200 to 300 kilos – were stolen from the grounds of a house in Budds Lane.

Patrols attended the area, where they found and recovered two of the statues from a ditch near the victim's property.

The gate of the property was damaged during the night-time raid, and a vehicle was also reported damaged nearby.

Officers are appealing for witnesses to the theft, or anyone who might have seen a Land Rover Discovery in the area at the time of the incident.

Witnesses should call Kent Police on 01843 222289 quoting 46/1474/21.
