Power tools taken

9:10am Thursday 15th February 2007 in Swindon By Raeanne Nightingale

Power tools worth around £5,500 have been stolen from a Swindon building site.

The theft occurred some time between 5.30pm on Tuesday and 7.25am yesterday morning.

Equipment including a Honda generator, drills, electric leads and saws were taken from a locked steel storage crate at a site at Ridgeway Cottages, Foxhill.

A police spokesman said: "To remove such a large quantity of tools a vehicle would need to have been used.

"The area is fairly isolated but there's a possibility that someone may have seen some activity on the building site or a vehicle acting suspicously in the area."

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Gaskell at Swindon on 0845 408 7000.
