"However this case is exceptional. It appears that someone has dumped most of the contents of their home on the street in the middle of town. It must have taken some time to move all of this property and someone must have seen it happening.
"We are currently making enquiries to establish who is responsible for this and would appreciate any information that the public can provide."
It is thought the incident took place on Sunday evening and anyone with any information is asked to call Andy on 01237 428760.
