SUSPECTED stolen tools were discovered by police earlier today. 

Whilst on patrol this morning at Lytchett Matravers, officers found several tools which are suspected to have been stolen.

If you have had DeWALT work tools stolen recently in the Purbeck area, report it via 101 and ask for Purbeck NPT to be made aware of the theft.

Members of the public are urged to remember to lock their vehicles and to remove valuables from them.

Also, mark your tools to make them identifiable and to prevent thieves from stealing them.

Marking the tools prevents them from being sold on, and often deters thefts from occurring.
