Camden local area command crime manager Paul Albury told the Camden Advertiser that the thieves were seen to get into a white ute and drive away.

Police patrolling Woolshed Place at Currans Hill a short time later saw a number of large pots containing plants in the tray of a ute matching the description, he said.

``Two male persons appeared to be moving items into the garage of a house in Woolshed Place.''

Police currently searching a house at Woolshed Place have found a large number of pot plants, garden furniture, statues, outdoor retaining wall blocks and tools.

Three men, a Tallong man 21, and two 22-year-old men from Airds and Claymore, have been charged with six counts of stealing.

Detective Inspector Albury said there had been a spate of similar thefts in Harrington Park, Mount Annan, Narellan Vale and Elderslie in recent weeks.

``We are calling upon anybody who has had pots, outdoor furniture, retaining wall blocks, pavers or gardening equipment taken from their homes to contact Camden detectives on 4655 0599,'' he said.

``At this stage we have a large amount of property we are unable to link back to owners. At the same time we have linked a number of items to recent thefts.''
