Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses and information after thieves broke into a fencing, timber and garden supplies business in Mark.

The business – Somerlap in Wells Road – is offering a £1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

The break-in happened overnight Thursday to Friday April 1 to 2. Thieves took hand tools and cordless equipment from the joinery workshop as well as garden equipment, gates and other items.

Officers believe a van would have been needed to remove the stolen property and would like to hear from anyone who spotted a suspicious vehicle in the area over that night.

A police spokesperson said: "We also want you to get in touch if you can help to identify the individuals in this CCTV footage.

"While their faces are covered people may recognise them by the clothing. If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5221070433

"You can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously on 0800 555111 or via their anonymous online form.

"No personal details are taken, information cannot be traced or recorded and you will not go to court or have to speak to police when contacting Crimestoppers."
