Thieves have broken into a family farm attraction and threw bricks at pigs, vandalised a greenhouse and stole hanging baskets used for plants.

Farm attraction East Hull Community Farm, in East Yorkshire has since made a public Facebook post pleading for more information.

The farm said the thieves broke into the property and began to throw bricks at pigs.

'Defenceless animals - how evil is that?', East Hull Community Farm said in the post. 'How some people sleep at night we will never know'.

The thieves also vandalised a large greenhouse and stole hanging baskets, plants, a white sack which held empty hanging baskets and a watering wand.

'They broke into the small chicken hut, smashed the whole door of the large greenhouse totally wrecked all the windows in what was the farrowing shed,' the post continued.

'If you have any idea who has done this act of cruelty and destruction to a community farm which is only here for the community and all our lovely trainees please get in touch.

'If anyone tries to sell you plants or hanging baskets or you hear anything please report it to the police or us.

'The pigs are fine so please do not worry. We all feel so sad and very angry. Thank you for your continued support to the farm and our trainees.'
