A haul of power tools believed to have been stolen from sheds and garages in South East Cornwall has been recovered by police.
A representative from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Following the execution of a search warrant at an address in St Budeaux, Plymouth a large number of power tools have been recovered.
"Police in Plymouth and South East Cornwall are reviewing a recent series of burglaries to sheds and garages in the Liskeard and Saltash areas, and will be endeavouring to identify the recovered items which are suspected to be stolen and return them to their owners."
The items recovered include six chainsaws, four drills, three strimmers, two power washers, two welders, two disc cutters and two leaf blowers.
Meanwhile Devon and Cornwall Police are encouraging homeowners to keep their sheds and outbuildings secure.
Bob Bunney, Devon and Cornwall Police crime reduction lead, said: "A good place to begin to secure your shed is to make all access points difficult to reach or use.
"Some good deterrents include checking your shed for any damage before the summer and making the relevant repairs to ensure your shed is as strong as possible.
"Make sure you fit strong shackle padlocks to the shed door and mesh to the windows," he added.
To report a shed theft, contact the police on 101 or email 101@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk
