THIEVES stole thousands of pounds worth of bikes and high power tools in Deeside on Sunday.

Police said tools, including a high end chop saw, routers, drills and hand tools and two adults bikes were taken from a property on Caernarvon Close in Shotton.

The items are worth thousands of pounds, and police are now appealing for information to trace the thieves and the items they have taken.

One the bikes is described as a black/orange giant men's bike, while the other is a women’s black/purple giant bike.

Debbie Simpson, victim of the theft, said: "The tools my husband has worked hard for over the years, it is his passion gone over night, he’s absolutely gutted.

"Also our new bikes which we bought to enjoy taking our boys out on bike rides are gone as well.

"We have only just moved to Shotton and in the process of renovating our new home which is now almost impossible now my husband's tools have been taken."

The items were stationed in the shed outside the property.

A North Wales Police spokesman said: "We were called at 7.22 on Monday morning to the theft of tools and two bikes from a shed on Caernarvon Close in Shotton.

"Enquires are ongoing."
