APPROXIMATELY £3,000 worth of tools were stolen from three lock-ups in The Street, Latton, between May 8 and 9.

It is thought thieves used bolt cutters to break through padlocks and stole a number of tools including a chainsaw, circular saw, drills, nail guns and hedge cutters.

Anyone in the area at the time, or anyone who is sold industrial tools that they believe to be stolen should contact police on 101.
