THIEVES carried out an overnight raid at a garden centre in Knutsford last week, stealing a total of 200 Christmas Trees.  

The crime took place overnight between Wednesday November 27 and Thursday November 28 at High Legh Garden Centre.

They are Nordmann Fir trees between 5 ½ ft and 7 ft in height and are specifically bought for their non shedding of needles.

The public are asked to be aware of being offered these trees and are asked to report anything suspicious.
