PLUMBERS and central heating engineers have been warned to beware offers of equipment from unusual sources after 12 boilers, valued at about £12,000, were stolen from a parked lorry.

Up to four men were seen loading the condensing boilers into a white Ford Transit in Cotswold Way, Worcester, at about 2.40am on Wednesday, June 6.

A south Worcestershire police spokesman said anyone offered a boiler or who saw anything suspicious can contact them on 08457 444888, quoting 53S/060607, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
