A CONSIDERABLE amount of property was stolen from several containers after they were broken into by thieves yesterday.

It is thought that a large vehicle was used during the break-in, in Station Road, Cliddesden, between 1am and 8am, after police found the double gates further up the road had a padlock broken and a vehicle had driven across the fields.

Police believe this is linked to the container theft.

Anyone with information can contact Hampshire Constabulary on 101 quoting crime reference number 44160182919.
