A group which oversees some of Bordon’s most treasured beauty spots has been targeted by thieves.

The Deadwater Valley Trust has appealed for witnesses after their storage shed behind The Phoenix was targeted.

The culprits made off with a Stihl leaf blower, hedge cutter and two brush-cutters marked Bill and Ben sometime between 11pm last Friday (May 16) and 3.30am.

The DVT made the discovery on Saturday morning (May 17) following an organised dawn chorus walk around Hogmoor Inclosure.

“If anyone in the Phoenix area heard anything or has either doorbell or CCTV footage then please let us know,” said a spokesperson for the group.
