HELLO, hello, hello - what's all this, then? Gwent Police detective and new bride Judith Roberts, along with police worker husband Clayton, have been left with a "whodunnit" on their return home from their Las Vegas wedding.

Someone has bricked up their front and back doors and slapped a For Sale sign outside their home in Glanhowy Road, Wyllie, near Blackwood. And the whole village is suspect.

But all their friends are currently refusing to "grass" on the culprit or culprits.

Blackwood-based Judith and Clayton, a civilian worker at police headquarters in Croesyceiliog, were married last Saturday with 'Elvis' officiating and their friends in Wyllie watching live on the Internet.

One friend said: "She is a detective and he works for Gwent Police, so they will have to carry out some detective work of their own." The house was also decorated with banners, balloons and messages of congratulations.

Clayton said he and Judith were not shocked by their discovery, but hadn't been expecting any pranks.

"We did have a good chuckle," said Clayton. "We thought we would go and see a few people who might have done it, but it wasn't them!"

After they returned home on Wednesday, the newlyweds are continuing their house-to-house inquiries to find the culprit - and they plan to leave the house bricked up until they discover the guilty party.

Well, they wouldn't want to destroy the evidence. "We will ask them to take the breeze blocks from around the doors!" said Clayton.

The couple had decided to jet to the USA to become man and wife because it was different and hassle-free, said Clayton. Judith's mother and stepfather joined them on the trip.

"Las Vegas was absolutely brilliant," he said. Now the pair, never ones to bear a grudge, are planning a party for family and friends next week.

It is the second time in a week that victims of pranks in Gwent have been left laughing by amazing stunts.

On Tuesday, the Argus reported how practical joker David Reaney returned from a football tour to find a toilet filled with plants stuck to his roof. "I just hope we don't get any high winds," David said.
