Police have charged two 18-year-old men in connection with the theft of a large number of garden gnomes in Aberdeenshire last month.
A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
A number of gnomes have still to be reclaimed and police are renewing an appeal for the owners to come forward.
Constable Shonagh MacGregor of the Banff Community Policing Team said said: “The owners may be reluctant to come in to the police office to reclaim their gnomes, but if they call Police Scotland on 101 and quote reference number CF0111170414, we will make arrangements to return the ornaments to them.”
