A suspected thief has been caught on camera falling through a fence after struggling to pick up a 2ft-high garden gnome.
Footage clearly shows the man being cut down to size by the gnome – losing his balance and careering into a nearby trellis – before stumbling away from the scene.
The red-hatted gnome was found destroyed outside a nearby block of flats.
