Life-size police cut-out stolen

Two teenage girls were arrested on suspicion of stealing a life-size cardboard cut-out of a Surrey town's local policing team.

The 6ft-tall (1.8m) figure was taken from the Co-op store, in Green Lane, Farncombe, on Tuesday night.

The cut-out of Pc Jim Lavery and PCSO Nicole Pearce is still missing.



A 15-year-old Godalming girl is due in court on Thursday charged with theft. A 14-year-old from Farncombe was bailed to attend a police intervention clinic.

Leaflet boxes for the local community were attached to the cardboard cut-out.

Pc Lavery said: "It is disappointing that an initiative intended to benefit the whole community has been ruined."
