Tools stolen from farm


DIAMOND drilling tools are among items which have been stolen from a rural farm in Iron Acton.

In all, burglars escaped with power saws, angle grinders and other items worth a total of £16,000 during the raid earlier this month.

It happened sometime between Tuesday, November 11 and Friday, November 14 but police only released details of the burglary this week.

A police spokesman said the thieves forced their way into a garage, which was storing the equipment, on the farm.

He added: "A large quantity of construction equipment, including diamond drilling tools, angle grinders, power saws, and other items were stolen.

"If anyone has any information which may assist the investigation they should contact Staple Hill Police Station on 0845 456 7000 or alternatively Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
