From Hampshire Constabulary - Stolen tools recovered Hundreds of tools have been recovered and four people have been arrested as part of our investigation into a Hampshire-wide tool theft conspiracy. Since August this year we have received more than 100 reports all over the county of vans being broken into and tools being taken from within. These offences are primarily concentrated around the east of the county and up the A3 corridor, taking place when it’s dark in the evenings or overnight, We’ve attached an image of a large haul of tools we seized on 30 November at a market stall in West London, and our efforts remain ongoing to actively track down the owners to reunite them with their goods. What we have noticed is that a number of the tools we have seized have not been marked. Our plea to tool owners is to protectively mark your equipment so that if it is ever lost or stolen, it can be easily returned to you when it’s found. You can contact us online here -
