SOMERSET residents are being asked to check if their stolen tools have been seized by police.

Avon and Somerset Police created an online gallery of items seized by officers in a bid to get them in the hands of the rightful owners.

As well as tools, the gallery includes jewellery, household and decorative items.

The items are believed to have been stolen in burglaries of homes and outbuildings across Somerset and the Blackdown Hills into Devon.

Ownership of the items will need to be proved before they can be handed over, and the force will ask for a crime reference number.

People are asked to complete a form on the police website or to email operationsayonara@avonandsomerset.police.uk with a crime reference number, description, or photograph of the item and contact details.
