A post said: "We are saddened to report that we have had one of our firefighter-decorated garden ornaments stolen from the station garden on Saturday evening.

"The two-foot-tall concrete ornament was one of three firefighter themed garden ornaments we had proudly displayed.

"We take great pride in the appearance of our station and put a lot of work into trying to make it colourful and eye-catching for the local community, and even grow some vegetables which we donate to the local food bank, and for someone to steal part of our display both angers and saddens us.

Please can you help in tracking down our missing colleague by sharing this post and let’s get him back to where he belongs."
