POLICE are appealing for help following two break-ins on the Belvedere industrial estate.

The thieves stole a van, a flat-bed truck, power tools and equipment on May 10.

The van was recovered by Sutton police in Wallington, Surrey, on May 11, and a man seen getting out of it and into a Vauxhall car was traced to Carshalton where two men were arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Officers searched a nearby property and lock-up garage and arrested another four men and a woman also on suspicion of burglary.

A large amount of electrical goods were seized, including the power tools and equipment stolen from Belvedere, as well as mobile phones, sat navs, televisions, computer screens, hard drives, laptops and cameras.

The flat-bed truck was recovered in Brixton, having been abandoned after a collision.

The six men aged between 18 and 46 and a 19-year-old woman are on police bail pending further enquiries.

Anyone with information should call Bexley police’s burglary squad on 020 8284 9296 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
