Police officers in Annan are investigating after a scrapyard was broken into and more than £10,000 worth of tools and scrap stolen.
The alleged theft took place between Annan and Creca and is said to have taken place in the early hours of Saturday (FEB 23).
Officers would like to speak to the occupants of a large white van that was seen in the area at the time.
Tools stolen from the yard included three orange Husqvarna stihl saws, two Makita stihl saws, an orange solo chainsaw and a green McIntyre Cable Stripper. The force says several Scania batteries and Catalytic converters were also taken.
Constable Laura Paton said: "These items are bulky and heavy and several people would have to be involved in the theft.
"We would like to hear from anyone who may have been around the area of the scrap yard or saw a large white van in the area during the early hours of Saturday morning.
"We are also carrying out enquiries locally and CCTV footage is being reviewed.
"Callers can get in touch through the 101 number."
