The critically endangered wild plants, described as yellow early marsh-orchids, which were growing beside a footpath and were dug up and stolen.
Orchids are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act along with all other native wild plants and bulbs. This means it is an offence to intentionally uproot any wild plant unless authorised to do so.
Anyone who has knowledge of the theft or has been offered them for sale should contact Suffolk police or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or via their online form: www.crimestoppers-uk.org
