SEVERAL garden power tools that were stolen in a night-time burglary from a Forest home last week have been returned to the owner after being found in nearby woods.

A member of the community discovered the tools close to the Bracelands Drive address in Coleford, and along with police, successfully returned them.

Police said the Coleford Neighbourhood Team were out the day after the Wednesday, January 22, break-in conducting house to house enquiries and checking CCTV.

It was also reported that a member of the public saw two suspicious people with their faces covered and hoods up, in the area of Grove Road, Berry Hill, Coleford at around 6.30pm on Wednesday.

However, police said it was unclear whether the two people were related to the burglary.
