Police officers in Annan are investigating after the scrapyard between Annan and Creca was broken into and over £10,000 worth of tools and scrap were stolen.
The theft occurred during the early hours of Saturday 23rd February and police are keen to speak to the occupants of a large white van seen in the area at that time.
Tools stolen from the yard included three orange Husqvarna stihl saws, two Makita stihl saws, an orange solo chainsaw and a green McIntyre Cable Stripper. Those responsible also stole several Scania batteries and Catalytic converters from the site.
Constable Laura Paton said “These items are bulky and heavy and several people would have to be involved in the theft. We would like to hear from anyone who may have been around the area of the scrap yard or saw a large white van in the area during the early hours of Saturday morning. We are also carrying out enquiries locally and CCTV footage is being reviewed. Callers can get in touch through the 101 number.”
