West Yorkshire independent merchant Tool Central suffered a substantial break in before it reopened for business in the new year.
At 9pm on 2 January, three men broke into Tool Central and took a large selection of stock. The entrance and office to the Bingley shop was also damaged, according to the merchant’s Facebook page.
Tool Central was established in 2009 and distributes screws, fixings, tools, workwear and building materials to trade and industrial customers.
