Gnomes re-homed
THE mystery of the unfortunate gnomes found taped to lamp-posts in Seaford on Friday, April 13 has been solved.
Sgt David Kemp, of Seaford police, said: 'We have established that the little fellows were bought by some high-spirited youngsters who disfigured them with some rather gruesome messages before attaching them to posts around the town.
'We are attempting to re-gnome them in the hope that they will recover from their ordeal and strike a more traditional pose with fishing rods, ponds and flowers.'
