A second case of disappearing stock in two weeks has taken place at a farm stall near Mylor.

Valentine's Day is supposed to be a time of year when people show each other how much they care, however, for Lynne Chellow and her sister Sally who run the Devichoy's Farm Stall on Carclew Road, it turned out to be anything but.

When Lynne went to check the stall at around 10.30pm on Sunday she noticed that a bunch of flowers and some jam had disappeared.

When she check the stall's honesty box, where people are able to leave money, eight pence in copper coins had been left.

Luckily, thanks to her foresight the last time items had disappeared from the stall, Lynne had installed several CCTV units and was able to check the footage as soon she realised what had happened.

The cameras had captured the only visitor the stall had that day since her sister set up that morning, and also managed to capture the registration of the vehicle they been driving.

Lynne contacted the police the next day and also posted the footage to the stall's Facebook page where she has received numerous messages regarding the incident.

The response from the local community after the initial incident has left Lynne more determined than ever to keep going and not to let incidents like this deter her and her sister from doing more events, such as the Valentine's themed 'Love Shack Stall' as well as their previous Christmas and Halloween offerings.

The first incident two weeks ago saw £59 worth of produce disappear and left their honesty box empty.

At the time Lynne had said: "It makes you feel like giving up and closing up but then we thought about our great customers because we have had brilliant messages of support from people, it keeps you going.

"You do it for your local community. We don't do it to make a profit. It's because we enjoy doing it, making a difference and making people happy."

However, after this latest incident, Lynne is more determined than ever to keep going.

"We just want people to come to our stalls and like what we've got,” she said, adding: “We just want to cheer people up.

"This is for the local community, it's not about the money."

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Police were called on February 15 at 5.30pm to reports of a theft in Perranarworthal, near Truro.

"Flowers and homemade marmalade were taken from an honesty stall outside of a property without payment being offered.

"Investigations are ongoing."
