THEFT!
We are asking the Island community for any witnesses or information about a break in that happened last night (6th April) at Forest View Nursery along Forest Road, Newport.
The criminals have cut through 2 parts of our metal fence with bolt croppers and stole 6 LARGE PALMS from our family run business.
They would have needed a large vehicle and probably at least 2 men to lift the heavy palm trees, this would have taken some time.
If anyone knows anything please message us (you will be kept anonymous)
We have reported this to the police alongside evidence left at the scene.
We are a small local business who (like everyone) has suffered from the effects of Covid19. This is a really sad state of affairs which at this tough time, we can't quite believe someone would do.
Please share this post so we can find out who has done this!
Also if you're offered a palm (Trachycarpus) like the one in the image, please report to us or the police!
The nursery is now open 7 days a week
Monday to Saturday 9am-4:30pm
Sunday 10am-4pm.
The Cafe will re-open for takeaway and
outside seating only Monday 12th April.
