Police gave a drunken thief and his loot a lift to his home, but they grew suspicious of his story en route and withheld the goods.
David Wyn Evans took a Makita battery drill, a Dewalt impact driver, Dewalt boots and a Makita hammer driver drill, worth between £700 and £800 from Knighton Building Supplies on October 26.
An employee saw him acting suspiciously and asked head office to check the CCTV – on which he was seen taking the items.
The intoxicated 44 year-old of Millbank, Norton, Presteigne, was seen by Police Officers Morris and Scott sat on the nearside kerb of the road, surrounded by the stolen goods.
