Police are appealing for information about an arson attack at allotments near Rose Hill Way in Stokesley.
Firefighters were first made aware of the incident at around 10.15pm on Tuesday.
It is believed that offenders gained access to the rear of the allotment yard and broke into several sheds without removing goods.
The suspects are then believed to have started a fire which caused complete fire damage to at least two sheds.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “The fire was contained and an investigation has been commenced.
“At this stage, no suspects have been identified but our enquiries remain ongoing.
“To assist us, we’re appealing for information about any suspicious individuals in the area between 9pm and 10.15pm on Tuesday.
“It is believed that the offenders gained access from the A172, so any sightings of stationary vehicles or individuals on this road around the time of the offence would be of great assistance.”
