IF you recognise any of the tools in this picture, your property could be among £30,00-worth of items recovered by police in Colne.

The collection of machinery and power tools was discovered in an industrial unit in the Waterside area of Colne at the weekend and police are hoping to identify the owners.

DC Dean Holden, of Colne CID, said: "A transit van was stolen from Scotland Road at 4pm on Sunday and as a result of a tracking device on it we were able to track it to the Waterside area.

"There we did a search of an industrial unit where we recovered the remains of four stolen vehicles and £30,000 worth of plant machinery and every power tool you could possibly think of.

"Three men from Nelson were arrested and charged with theft of a vehicle and one of them is still being questioned by police about the stolen property."

A large generator which was stolen from roadworks in Burnley Road, in Colne, a couple of weeks ago, was one of the items found at the unit.
