A QUIET village left shocked after a spate of burglaries last month have been left baffled and amused by someone leaving giant courgettes on the doorsteps of the houses that were broken into.
In a random act of kindness, a well-wisher has left the over-grown vegetables outside homes in Pontrhydfendigaid that were burgled in a one-night spree on the evening of Tuesday, 28 June.
One resident whose house was broken into, Gwenllian Beynon, said that someone began to leave the gifts the following weekend.
“Over the weekend somebody has been leaving giant courgettes on their doorsteps without saying who it is,” she told the Cambrian News.

“This act of kindness is so nice as there is so much negativity in this world.
“It makes us feel good after what happened.”
Dyfed-Powys Police is continuing to investigate the burglaries which affected several homes in the village in a spree that lasted from the evening of Tuesday, 28 June, into the early hours of the next day.
A man was arrested in connection with the crimes, but it is not yet known if he has been charged.
Police urged residents “to be alert and vigilant and take basic security measures seriously” in the wake of the burglaries.
