More than 20 power tools including chainsaws were stolen from a Barossa business during a break-in, with police now searching for the suspects who were captured on CCTV.
Police and security responded to an alarm activation at the Stihl Shop Barossa on 50 Murray St, Tanunda just before 1am, on Monday, June 24.
Officers discovered a break-in at the premises, believed to be a ram raid.
In the footage, a white ute was seen parked outside the premises, as two suspects both wearing light-coloured pants and hooded jumps, exited the vehicle before the entered the store.
Moments later, the suspects were seen placing power tools - which appear to be chainsaws - in the back of the ute, as they went back and forth between the car and store with more items.
Once the ute had filled up with the stolen items, the suspects quickly fled from the scene.
Staff members later confirmed that items had been stolen including 19 Stihl chainsaws, two Stihl cut off saws, a Stihl long reach trimmer and several Stihl equipment batteries.
Crime scene investigators also attended and examined the scene.
Police are urging anyone who recognises the suspects and vehicle captured on CCTV – or may have information, dashcam or CCTV footage – to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
