'˜Grass him up'appeal after Chorley artificial lawn stolen
The resident, who lives off The Common, Adlington, had only put the artificial grass lawn down about two months ago.
Half of it disappeared overnight on November 2/ 3.
The grass, worth up to £1,000, was taken by two men in a white van who were captured on a nearby CCTV camera.
The 7m by 5m piece could cost up to £1,000 to replace.

“I can’t believe of all things that someone would steal the lawn. They’ve made no attempt to get into the house.
“It weighs a ton and would take at least two men to carry it.
“They must have had a van nearby - they’ve heaved it over the fence and carried it away.

“And the insurance will not pay out so it’s annoying.”
