A WOMAN in Grimsby is calling on local residents to help her solve a mystery.
Aluminium cans were stolen from her recycling container during the night.
The woman, who only wishes to be known as Tracey, said that up to 60 cans have been stolen on three separate occasions from her property on Earl Street, Grimsby, during the past two months.
Tracey said: "Our recycling is collected every other Friday morning.
"I leave the container full of cans on the inside of our gate on Thursday night, ready for myself or my husband to put out on the street the next morning.
"But when we go to put out the container, loads of cans are missing. I don't know why it's happening – the mind boggles.
"If someone is collecting them to exchange for money to feed their kids, or something like that, then that's fine.
"I'd happily give away our cans if someone knocked on my door and asked me for them."
Tracey is interested to know if other residents have had aluminium cans stolen from their recycling containers too.
