Appeal Launched After Tools Stolen from Vehicle in Ramsgate

Kent Police have launched an appeal for witnesses following the theft of valuable tools from a vehicle in Ramsgate, urging residents to check CCTV and report any suspicious activity.

The incident occurred between 8.30pm on Thursday, April 17 and 10.45am on Friday, April 18, when thieves targeted a pick-up style truck parked on Dane Crescent. Among the stolen items were:

  • A Halfords Advanced socket and spanner set in a black case
  • A Makita 40v drill with two batteries and a charger

Investigators believe the theft may be linked to other similar incidents in the Newington and St Luke’s Avenue areas of Ramsgate. Police are appealing for residents in these neighbourhoods to remain vigilant and report any further thefts that may have gone unreported.

Police Appeal for CCTV and Witnesses

PC Oli Sterling of Kent Police said:

“Anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of theft during the same time frame should ensure they report it via the Kent Police website so enquiries can be made into additional thefts.
