A hunt is on for the owner of a suspected stolen tool set following a discovery by Warwickshire Police officers. The force's rural crime team shared images of what they suspected to be stolen tools.

A distinctive name - 'OBG' - was inscribed on some of them. Now the team hopes to reunite the tools with their rightful owner.

A post on the team's page on Facebook urged anyone who knew who they belonged to, to come forward. It explained the team believed they were stolen in the 'last few weeks' but gave no indication of where they were found.

"Are you missing a Milwaukee Packout set," the appeal read. "Some of the contents are marked OBG?

"We suspect this has been stolen in the last couple of weeks and would love to reunite it with its owner."

The appeal concludes: "If you recognise it as yours please drop us an email to ruralcrimeteam@warwickshire.police.uk with the subject line 17/01 Toolbox Appeal."
