Police Investigate Major Building Site Theft

An appeal for information has gone out following a major theft over night on a building site.

Access was gained to the heritage homes site on Quine’s Corner in Douglas sometime between  yesterday evening and 5.30am this morning.

A large amount of expensive tools by various manufacturers including Dewalt, Hilti and Bosch have been taken as well as 3 rolls of grade 4, 300 mm wide lead.

As the gear would have been very heavy to move it's thought more than one person was involved  and a vehicle would have been used to transport it away.

Sergeant Ged Power has said there is a strong likelyhood the goods will now be sold on, so if anyone has any information they are urged to contact Douglas Police Station on 631212.
