Police want to speak to anyone who may have seen thieves who forced their way into a vehicle before driving away.
Just before 9.40pm on Wednesday (August 7), two suspects reportedly broke into a van in Longcroft Road, Maple Cross.
The pair apparently stole tools from inside before leaving in the direction of Hornhill Road, in what is believed to have been a silver Volkswagen Golf.
