"Police are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed unusual activity outside the Wyevale Garden Centre on the A259 at Merston," she said.

"It is believed a fairly large van would have been used to remove the property and that the thieves would have been at the site for some time, or there may have been a number of people involved."

Scenes-of-crime officers have attended and CCTV is being viewed.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Bognor Crime Management Unit on 0845 60 70 999, quoting serial number 436 of September 2, 2008 or Crimestop-pers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
