The tools taken include two DeWalt saws and drills and a Makita jigsaw and plane. The tools are distinctively marked to assist in identifying them

CCTV, witness and forensic enquiries are ongoing to find those responsible and anyone with any information is asked to contact police.

Detective Inspector Paul Gillies said: “This theft and all similar incidents cause massive inconvenience to those affected, people who are merely carrying out their daily business within our communities.

“If you were in the Bootle area during the early hours of last Thursday morning and saw anything or anyone suspicious then please let us know as information that you hold could be vital to our enquiries.

“Similarly if you have seen these tools or bikes for sale locally, then please come forward and we will do the rest.”

Anyone with any information please contact police via Twitter DM, @MerpolCC, or message Merseyside Police Contact Centre on Facebook quoting reference 21000644795.
