Police have issued a CCTV image of a man who may have information after £3,000-worth of tools were stolen. A hoody and shorts-wearing man got out of the passenger side of a van parked in Ash Green Lane.

The tools were taken on Monday, June 17. Police said officers had yet to identify anyone from the CCTV.

But they hoped that by releasing images, locals may be able to help them. They also urged anyone else with any footage taken in the area at around 12.40pm to come forward.

Pc Pringle Harris said: "The suspect got out the passenger seat of a van similar in style to a Peugeot Partner, VW Caddy or Vauxhall Combo.

“We have this CCTV footage of the incident, but this hasn’t proved helpful in identifying the suspect, however, we’re hoping releasing it might help jog the memory of people who were in the area at the time."
