Police have issued an appeal for information after a spate of walling stone thefts.
At some time over the last two days, three metres of walling stone was stolen from a wall at the top of Bellerby Bank, near Leyburn.
Police say it would have needed a van or a pick up to remove the stone.

North Yorkshire Police said there had been a number of stone thefts recently.
A spokesman added: “If you see any suspicious vehicles around stone walls please ring 101 with a registration number if possible.
“If you have been offered stone recently or are having work done that needed stone we would also be interested to hear about it.”
In a separate incident, overnight on Sunday a light blue coloured Bell skidsteer loader (similar to a Bobcat) and a twin axle flat bed trailer were stolen from the Satron / Gunnerside area.
It is believed the trailer was used to carry the loader and the stolen items then went through Gunnerside together around 4am.
If you heard or saw anything suspicious or have any information please contact NY Police on 101 and quote reference 12170121253.
