Please be aware that on Tuesday 21st of January 2014 there was a theft from an outbuilding and a quantity of tools were taken. Apparently the offenders had parked their vehicle on the roadside and cut through some fence wire and then entering onto the land. Although quite a number of tools have been stolen there were other tools piled up at the fence ready to be taken but it would appear that they have been disturbed at which point the offenders made off. Therefore it may be that there are witnesses to the offence at the time.
If you have any information about this incident please contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 and quote incident number 000495-21012014.
