Crooks stole thousands of pounds of medical equipment from a van parked on a roadside in Walton.

Thieves broke into the van in St Johns Drive and stole medical software and a processing work station with a 19 inch flat screen monitor.

The equipment taken, not thought to be of any use to the public, was very heavy and it is believed a vehicle would have been used to transport it.

The theft happened between 7pm on Monday, February 11 and 9.15am on Tuesday, February 12.

Witnesses or anyone with any information should call Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222, quoting reference A/08/3468, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
