Pensioners heartbroken after theft of farm animals from their garden

A pensioner and his 90-year-old neighbour from Knutsford in Cheshire have been left ‘heartbroken’ after callous thieves ransacked their garden stealing hundreds of pounds worth of goods.



Kenneth Trotman, 74, spent two years building a ‘farm’ garden for his elderly neighbour Doris Williams outside her flat - complete with expensive sheep, lamb, sheepdog chicken and cow ornaments.

However, Kenneth was horrified when he discovered that the ewe and her two lambs had been stolen from the garden overnight and is appealing for the thieves to return the beloved animal ornaments.



Kenneth, who lives in the flat above Doris at the sheltered housing development, said: “It’s unbelievable. Doris really loved her garden and I worked so hard to cheer her up and make it look lovely. This has really broken her heart. It’s a pity I wasn’t there when it happened as the thieves wouldn’t have walked away.”
