ITEMS totalling over £200 were stolen from a shed behind a terrace house in Olive Lane, Darwen.

The haul included two blue Raleigh bikes worth £100, a £50 silver challenge bike, a £20 aluminium folding table and chairs, a ten-man tent worth £100, camping equipment including a Portaloo and lights, a hammer drill, a hovermower worth £50 and a £50 strimmer.

Because of the size of the haul, police believe the thieves must have used a van to transport the goods.
