Volunteers at Horsham Normandy WI created 12 charity Christmas toppers and put them on post boxes around the town.

Horsham Normandy WI have called on whoever has taken the toppers to return them so they can continue to spread Christmas cheer around the town.

"The members who create the toppers are all volunteers and fund the toppers out of their own pockets.

"They are calling for the toppers to be returned, as they have brought a smile to very many people, especially children, at this time of year."

Two weeks ago, a family in Southwater had a guy rope cut on an inflatable Christmas tree - and an electric cable powering an outdoor Christmas lights display was cut through.

The following week a Horsham family discovered that a guy rope on an inflatable drumming soldier in their garden had been cut through.

A peg was also broken and an electric cable on their outdoor lights had also been sliced.
