Another one of the scarecrows from Hatherell's Yard in Chipping Sodbury has been found in the nearby river. 

Vandals took the figure from the locked yard on Saturday evening, it was found in the early hours of this morning by walkers.

It is not the first time it has happened with the scarecrows, made by students at Raysfield Primary School, being burnt in the Ridge Woods.

Recently a planter costing around £90 was thrown in to the river as well.

Sodbury in Bloom were involved with placing the scarecrows in the yard and they recently had their judgement day for the In bloom awards. 

Representatives from the group have said they would back the decision to place CCTV in the yard.
