Burnham-On-Sea Police are asking for information after tools and a ride-on lawnmower were stolen in two burglaries on the same road.
Both break-ins happened overnight Tuesday 5 to Wednesday 6 May in New Road, East Huntspill.
The John Deere mower, pictured here, was taken with the thieves cutting through the bolt securing it to the floor of an equipment store.
“A collection of Snap-On tools including socket sets, flank drive spanners and ratchet spanners, plus a Mac Tools pick set and impact wrench were also taken from another outbuilding,” adds a spokesman.
“If you have seen the equipment offered for sale or stored in unusual circumstances, or have any other information which could help, get in touch.”
