Middlesbrough gardener, 12, has stolen tools replaced

A community fundraising effort has helped an aspiring young gardener replace his tools after they were stolen from the family shed.

Dominic, from Hemlington, Middlesbrough, had originally bought his equipment by combining his pocket money with tips from neighbours whose gardens he had tended to.

Now the 12-year-old can pull weeds and cut grass once more after well-wishers set up an appeal for funds to pay for new tools.
