A puzzled couple claim that their home is being invaded by garden gnomes.
Gnomes have invaded a couple's garden in mysterious circumstances
Christine and Stephen Lock now have five of the figures outside of their property in Devon but are at loss in their attempts to find out where they are coming from.
Christine said: "About 18 months ago, I had a gnome turn up in my garden. I wondered where it had come from and asked around.
"I asked on Facebook and never heard anything more about it and nobody got in touch."
The gnomes have continued to appear and Christine says that her neighbours have no idea who could be leaving them in the front garden. The figures include a Pride gnome as well as partying and fishing ornaments.
She explained: "They seem to be being placed outside overnight and I haven't got a clue who is doing it."
