POWER tools worth hundreds of pounds were stolen from outbuildings in the Five Valleys just days apart.

The first break-in occurred in a shed at The Camp, near Stroud, sometime between 5.30pm on Tuesday, March 25 and 5.30pm the following day.

Several more tools were later taken from an insecure garage under construction at Butterow Hill in Rodborough, Stroud, between 7pm on Thursday, March 27 and 8am the next morning.

Anyone with information about either burglary is asked to call police on 111, quoting incident 344 of 26/03/14 for the incident at The Camp, or 70 of 28/03/14 for the thefts in Rodborough.
