$25,000 in Snap-On tools stolen in town of Pamelia

Snap-On tools valued at about $25,000 were stolen in a burglary discovered Tuesday morning on the property of a Snap-On distributor in the town of Pamelia, according to state police.

Investigator Randy S. Pound declined to name the theft victim and his location at the victim's request. He is concerned that such disclosure could bring about future thefts, Mr. Pound said.

The theft occurred sometime after midnight Tuesday, he said. Intruders entered a garage at the residence as well as a truck containing the tools, parked outside the garage.

Stolen hand tools include wrench sets, drill bit sets, four 18-volt cordless impact wrench sets with cases and batteries, a tool bag, and a child-size Red Rider wagon having the Snap-On logo.

Anybody having possible information about the theft is asked to call state police at 782-2112.
