POTENTIALLY prize-winning vegetables have been stolen from a church.
Between 6pm on Thursday (September 20) and 9am on Friday, rhubarb, leeks and beetroot, all of which were due to be entered into a competition this weekend, were taken from the church warden’s vegetable plot, at St Mary’s Church, Church Lane, Yapton.
There had also been an attempt to break into the garden store.
