POLICE have uncovered a large haul of stolen tools and are appealing for the owners to come forward.
Thousands of pounds worth of drills, saws and other tools were discovered at a house in Spennymoor, following an arrest on July 21.
Police are trying to return the goods, believed to have been taken from sheds, garages and outbuildings in the area, about two months previously.
PC Jason Corbett, of Spennymoor Police, said there was about £3,000 worth of goods.
"There's so much stuff, it's hard to identify, especially as it may not all have been reported.
"But I would ask people who recognise the property to contact me, regardless of whether the theft has been reported or not."
The items are held at Spennymoor Police Station. If anyone recognises them, they should contact PC Corbett on (01388) 814411.
