Subject: Woman returns to her home to find 107 gnomes carefully arranged in her garden

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/10/15 at 6:36 am

A woman returned to her home to find 107 garden gnomes carefully laid out in her front garden.

Police launched an investigation after the mysterious discovery at the woman's Devon home.

The ornaments had been arranged with apparent precision - including into a formation 30 rows deep and three abreast.

Detectives said they have checked a local garden centre which reported that none of its stock of gnomes were missing.

The mysterious incident happened when the woman had left her home in Ivybridge between 9.30pm on June 1 and 1.30am the following day.

Other residents are now being urged to check their gardens for signs of malpractice or missing gnomes, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

A spokesman added: "Someone has taken quite a bit of time and effort to place them there," the force spokesman said.

"It has unsettled the home-owner who has no idea why they were put in her front garden at night.

"We are seeking to establish where the gnomes have come from.

"The question is whether they are stolen, or if it's a prank and someone is playing a game of gnomes."
