Thief stole ancient stone used to build Stonehenge as garden ornament


Ancient stones used to build Stonehenge are being stolen, police have warned, as one thief used it as a garden ornament.

The thief swiped the bluestone last week from the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, Wales, where some of the stone used for the Wiltshire monument was quarried and transported.

Officers tracked it down to a garden 10 miles away. The person responsible said they weren't aware it was illegal to remove it from the area.

Inspector Reuben Palin said: “This case was quite unusual in that there was actually a witness to the theft, who swiftly started filming while the stone was dug up and put into a car.

“In the past we have had people taking bluestone for the spiritual and healing property it is believed to possess, and in this case a large stone was taken for decoration purposes."

The Preseli Hills are part of the Mynydd Preseli Site of Special Scientific Interest and Preseli Special Area of Conservation.

Thieves were spotted and recorded digging up and stealing an ancient bluestone -

Ancient bluestone stolen from Preseli Hills was found being used as a garden feature 10 miles away

Police say an ancient bluestone that was stolen from the Preseli Hills was discovered being used as a garden feature 10 miles down the road.

The stolen rock, which is believed to have spiritual and healing powers, and is the same type as that found at ancient English monument, Stonehenge, was taken from Mynachlog-ddu at around 3pm on Sunday, December 29.


Officers from Dyfed-Powys Police managed to trace the culprits after a witness recorded the theft and captured the registration number of the car used during the incident.

Are all Preseli blue stones protected by law? Because if they are, the ring I bought online about 20 years ago is contraband!!!
