Fire station equipment worth thousands stolen

A fire engine was left out of action after a break-in at a station in which thousands of pounds worth of life-saving equipment and tools were stolen.

Wiltshire Police said the incident at Corsham Fire Station, on Beechfield Road, happened between 20:00 BST on 11 October and 05:00 BST on 12 October.

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service (DWFRS) said the engine had been left "unavailable for emergency response" and urged anyone with information to contact police.

Officers want to hear from anyone who saw or heard any suspicious activity in the area during this time.

Group Manager Mike Wainwright from DWFRS added it is "working with police colleagues".

Wiltshire Police said: "We are carrying out CCTV and house-to-house enquiries and would urge anyone with information to contact us immediately."
