More than £400 worth of tools have been stolen from ITS Tools in Newport, with the suspected thief caught on CCTV.
The theft occurred at the Newport store on Riverway Industrial Estate at around 14:00 yesterday afternoon (Friday).
CCTV footage clearly shows a man taking a number of tools and placing them into a rucksack, as well as concealing a DeWalt battery inside his jacket pocket.
The total value of the items stolen is believed to be in excess of £400.
The incident has been reported to Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary, with ITS Tools currently awaiting a response from Police.
Following the incident, the business has issued a warning to other local retailers, urging them to remain vigilant and review their CCTV and security arrangements where appropriate.
A spokesperson for ITS Tools has said:
“If you have any information that may assist the police, please report it through the appropriate channels rather than approaching or confronting anyone yourself”.
Anyone with information should contact Police on 101.
Tim Young. Very… distinctive walk
That name is forever in local news for the wrong reasons.
yep that is Tim Young.
Surly ITS can afford better cameras but well done for catching him on ctv.
People like this put up the cost of buying for every honest person here, all both of them.
It certainly looks like Tim Young, especially with that limp. He needs some serious jail time. I imagine he will just get a slap on the wrist as usual though.
It’s the dodgy solicitors who get them off on “diminished responsibility”. Seriously needs looking into
Is there any rules on the island, or is it twinned with
Dodge City (Yee-haw) just asking for a friend.
Lol
Youre not goanna get reputation as a Masterthief when almost the whole island apprears to have spotted you.
It makes one wonder why a “Tool” needs a tool!
Lol
