THIEVES who raided an industrial unit escaped from the scene with tools worth around £12,000.
They targeted Snap On branded tools but left behind a number of other tools made by different manufacturers.
The raid happened late last month, between 6pm on April 27 and 11am the following day, at an industrial unit on Darlington Road, Northalleeton, but details were only released yesterday.
The tools that were stolen include electrical testing equipment and three sets each of screwdrivers, spanners, socket sets, Allen keys, pri bars, ratchets, extensions and breaker bars.
PC Quita (CORRECT)Passmore said: "The tools that were stolen appear to have been specifically targeted as nothing else was taken.
"I would like to speak to anyone who may have been offered Snap On branded tools in unusual circumstances or can help to identify the thieves and ask that they contact the police straight away."
