A number of items have been stolen, including;

  • Red Petrol Mower
  • Electric Strimmer
  • Three Jerry Cans - 1 half full of petrol, 1 with a little Diesel and an empty one

A spokesperson for Arreton Cricket Club said:

"Our club is run by volunteers, and funding that is given to us for our youngsters and adults alike who enjoy cricket.

"There are a great number of people who dedicate their time and energy to create a happy, safe environment at Arreton CC and after a difficult two years for everyone it’s aim, more than ever, is to bring people together.

"This is a note to warn other clubs around the Island that there are people out there who are stealing and vandalising equipment, and to take extra precautions, as we will now endeavour to do.

"If anyone has seen anything unusual around the cricket club please report it to the Police as we have done. If you see any of the items listed above appearing for sale on any platform, please report it."
