Police this morning launched an appeal for information following the burglary on the Morland Road Industrial Estate.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: “A scaffolding tower and cable were removed, dismantled and stolen. It is likely that the offender(s) used a van or flatbed lorry to remove them from the site, due to their size.”
