A reward is being offered for the return of equipment stolen from a van.

The Mercedes van was parked in the carpark of Premier Inn, in New Road, Dagenham from Tuesday evening through to Wednesday morning when the vehicle was broken into.

Ten black plastic cases were taken containing various items used in the testing of safety valves.

The Bristol-based company that owns the equipment, Seetru Ltd, says it is worth a lot to the firm but little to anyone else.

It is offering a “significant reward” to anyone with information which leads to their return.

Call the police on 101 and quote reference number 5116411/13 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
