Police are appealing for information after thieves broke into a Telford home and stole a number of power tools.

Power tools stolen during Telford burglary

The break-in happened at an address in Quarry Lane in Red Lake some time between 6pm on Monday and 3.45pm on Tuesday.

Thieves forced the door to the property and stole hundreds of pounds worth of power tools.

Items stolen include a SDS hammer drill in a blue case, a yellow De Walt hand drill, a yellow De Walt circular saw, a silver Abu work platform and a black toolbox that contained a number of other tools. A black wheelbarrow with a red wheel was also stolen.

It is believed thieves may have carried the tools away in the wheelbarrow.

A Telford Police spokeswoman said: "The property is currently being renovated so it was unoccupied during the time of the burglary.

"Police believe that thieves filled the wheelbarrow with the tools before taking them away.

"We want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area around the time the burglary took place, or who saw anyone pushing a wheelbarrow in the vicinity within the time frame of the incident occurring.

"If you have any information that could help our enquiries please contact Police by calling 0300 333 3000 or the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111."
