Gardai are determined to weed out the dastardly duo with green fingers who stole a flower pot from a garden in Navan.
Meath Crime Prevention, the Facebook page for the Gardai in the Royal County posted on Monday
‘Navan Gardaí are investigating the theft of this concrete flower pot that was taken from the Leighsbrook area of Navan on Friday night last between 9 pm and 9.30 pm.
The chief suspects aren’t Bill and Ben.
2 males in a white Berlingo-style van were seen in the area. Anyone who may have noticed these males or this vehicle are asked to please contact Navan Garda Station on 046 9036100.’
They even accompanied it with a photo of the missing pot!
And they have been the subject of much social media slagging since.
A John Murphy posted ‘Here’s a picture of the chief suspects’ alongside a photo of Bill and Ben the two puppets from the old BBC series The Flowerpot men!
