POLICE in the Forest of Dean are trying to trace the owners of gardening equipment they believe is stolen.

Several boxes of tools and three leaf blowers were recovered following a search of a house in Cinderford at the beginning of the month.

It is believed the items could have been stolen during a recent shed or house burglary in the Forest.

Victims who think the items could be theirs should call 101, quoting incident 355 of December 4.
