Superintendent Tim Metcalfe said: “The theft of tools is a serious and organised form of criminality that is on the increase.
“It impacts on the ability of honest tradespeople to work and, as a consequence, can undermine the reputation of individuals and businesses.
“The seizure of stolen tools over the weekend presents an opportunity to bring those responsible to justice and return the items to their rightful owners.
“This will be made significantly easier in cases where the tools have been marked.
“We believe that a yellow van may be connected to these incidents and ask storage container businesses and members of the public to remain vigilant.
“If you have any information please call 101 quoting reference 43180036066.”
