Thieves stole work tools and sanding equipment in a raid on a West Norwood business, police said.

Burglars took the equipment from Waxed Floors Ltd, in the Park Hall Trading Estate, Martell Road, between 5pm on Wednesday, April 25 and 8am the next day.

A Lambeth police spokesman said, “A considerable amount of equipment has been stolen. It would have taken a large vehicle to carry it all away.

"The thieves may have made a considerable amount of noise gaining entry to the premises. Police are appealing to anyone who saw or heard anything to contact us.”

Anyone with any information should call police on 020 8721 3510 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
