:mad:Stolen Tortoise again in Cornwall
I have just heard from Tortoise Garden and sadly they have had another theft. Here is their email
Once again I have had a thief in my sanctuary today despite every gate being padlocked and the garden was full of visitors all day, they managed to steal my two Indian Stars, two two year old hermanns and one of my own big spur boys. I would be grateful if you could put this around your group, the BCG are putting it out on the net and to all the other groups. The police think they dropped a young child over the fence to pick them up as there was no other way to get at them. |
