Bungling burglars BURGLARS stole £1,200 of broken garden machinery from a Hampshire business.

They climbed fences into an industrial estate and broke into containers on the site using a disc cutter before taking chainsaws, strimmers and hedge-cutters which had been dumped because they did not work.

The raiders also took a trailer which had a wood-cutter on it, and drove out of the compound at Winchester Garden Machinery in Fair Lane off the Alresford Road.

Anyone with information about the raid on March 17 should contact Winchester police station on 0845 045 4545 or Crimestoppers.
