It was believed to have been taken on Friday 4 October between 11.55am and 12.10pm.

PC Matt Davidson said, “The owner of this van was carrying out work at a nearby house when the van was stolen and so the van held hundreds of pounds of tools. He is devastated by the theft as the vehicle and the tools are his livelihood and so we are very keen to do what we can to trace the people responsible.”
