POLICE have appealed for information after thousands of pounds worth of tools were stolen from a van in Linwood.

The vehicle was securely parked in Gilmartin Road at around 6pm on Monday, but the owner discovered the items had been pinched at around 8.30am the following morning.

Police wouldn't confirm what tools were stolen but said they were worth a four-figure sum in total.

Witnesses and anyone else who has information that could help officers with their enquiries are asked to call 101.
