Burglars got into a house in Ellesmere, Shropshire, during the night, stole sets of keys and made off with a family car and gardening equipment valued at nearly £12, 500.
The theft took place sometime between 11pm on Wednesday 18 June and 7.45am on Thursday 19 June 2014 from the property in Oak Drive, Ellesmere.
The owners woke up to find a window and door of their home open and their car, a grey Vauxhall Astra SRi CDTi which had been parked in the street outside the house, was missing.
They also discovered a handbag had been taken from the house, while a Husqvarna petrol strimmer and a Stihl hedge cutter were missing from the garden shed.
Detective Constable Robert Buxton from police in Shrewsbury said: “We want to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious behaviour in Oak Drive overnight on Wednesday 18 June and anyone who saw or knows the location of the grey Vauxhall Astra to contact us.
“We are also urging anyone who has been offered gardening equipment matching those items described to get in touch.”
