Burglars steal ride-on lawnmower worth thousands from Pelsall Cricket Club
Thieves broke into a cricket club and stole a ride-on lawn mower worth up to £20,000.
Pelsall Cricket Club was targeted between 6pm on Sunday and 6am on Monday.
George Minton, a committee member for the club, said: "They've sawed off the chains and locks to get in. It must have taken a considerable amount of time and a lot of noise.
"Then they broke into one of our garages and stole a ride-on lawn mower which we use for cutting our grounds.
"It's the only one we've got, I don't know what the value is but it's very very expensive, probably between £15,000 and £20,000.
"We've kept maintaining the grounds as best we can.
"It is a terrible shame, I was really taken aback."
