A DOZEN large bins used to store machine components were stolen from an industrial unit on Howard Road in Park Farm Industrial Estate.

The H bins, which are made of steel, measure about 1.5metres cubed and weigh 150-180lbs.

Each were stolen between the evening of Saturday, January 25, and Monday, January 27.

It is believed a flatbed truck and some sort of crane would have been needed to steal the bins, which were worth a total of about £2,500.

Anyone with information about the thefts can call Redditch police on 08457 444888.
