POLICE are asking for the public’s help to locate and return items taken from graves in a Teignbridge village.

Over the last four months, items have been removed from several graves in Bishopsteignton cemetery.

The ornaments removed include glass mushrooms and stone tortoises.

And now the Coastal and Rural Teignbridge Neighbourhood Team are appealing for anybody with information that could help return the items to come forward.

‘If you have any information that could help the parish council and police return the items, please contact the clerk of the parish council or PCSO Saul Bunce’ a spokesperson for the team said.

The team will be patrolling around the area when on duty, the Mid-Devon Advertiser can confirm.
