Image of stolen dumper truck released in Bushey

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following the theft of a dumper truck in Bushey. Between 4.30pm on Wednesday November 4 and 7am the following day, offenders have forced entry to a building site on Grange Road via an access point on neighbouring Belmont Road. They have then taken property including the dumper truck, a plate compactor, disc cutter and other hand tools. The offenders also tried to take a digger but were unsuccessful. Police investigating the incident have released an image of the dumper truck in order to help trace it.
