A thief stole tools from a van in Andreas earlier this week.
The crime took place between 9.30pm on Tuesday and 7.55am the next day.
A Ford Connect van owned by Gough Electrical was targeted on the main Bride Road opposite the entrance to Croft Park.
A number of power tools were stolen including: DeWalt XR4AMP 18V rechargeable hammer drill; Milwaukee Percussion 18v rechargeable Drill; DeWalt 110v power drill; Milwaukee 18v rechargeable hand held torch; JCB wheeled tool box full of tools.
Investigating officer Steve Grainger said: ‘The items stolen during this crime are identifiable. I urge anyone who may have been offered such items to report it to the police.’
