Turf war: Moment two middle-aged women were caught on camera 'stealing an entire front lawn in early morning garden raid' (and they even stopped for a cigarette half way)

The 'shamefully funny' incident was captured on CCTV installed by neighbour Bobby Stacey - who fitted the camera after his garden tools were stolen.The pair were filmed ripping up the garden in the early hours of the morning - with both shamelessly stopping for a cigarette break half-way through the heist in Skelmersdale, Lancashire last month. The 51-year-old grandfather said that when he watched the video back he could not stop laughing despite its serious nature. Police are currently investigating the crime
