Avon & Somerset Police have issued a further appeal to try and identify the owner's of a range of power tools which were seized as part of an investigation into thefts from vans across North Somerset.
Officers have been investigating since a previous appeal in May, but have not yet been able to confirm the rightful owners of the items pictured.
These include several Makita-brand power tools, batteries and accessories as well as De Walt, Milwaukee and Erbauer items.
The tools were found after officers stopped and searched a vehicle in the early hours of Tuesday 13 May. A man arrested at the time remains on police bail while the investigation continues.
The officer investigating the case; PC Christopher Lee said: “We know that people’s tools are their livelihood, and understand the impact of a van being broken into and equipment stolen.
“When we do recover items we believe to be stolen, being able to prove ownership of the property is key to us being able to take a suspect to court.”
If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5225133180, or complete our online appeals form. You will need the image reference number, the crime reference number you were given when you reported the theft and proof of ownership.
