Jellycats are different-shaped soft toys which are in huge demand at the moment due to their quirky designs and soft material.
Over the past year, the brand has experienced significant growth in popularity.
William Blake, managing director of St Peter’s Garden Centre, said: “We were deeply disappointed by the incident, where a significant amount of stock — over £400 worth of Jellycat toys — was stolen from our store.
“As an independent, family-run business, every loss impacts not just our shelves but the hard-working team behind the scenes.
