A MEMORIAL bench placed in Rockhampton Cricket Ground has been stolen.

Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses to an incident that occurred overnight from July 3 to 4 at the cricket ground in Rockhampton, near Berkeley.

A three seater teak bench, which had a brass plate in memory of Bob Weaver on it was stolen, along with an A-shaped garden table and one other bench.
