She said offenders broke into an industrial shed before removing two Stihl brand concrete cutters, a Stihl chainsaw and
a surveying and construction laser level.
"There would certainly need to have been a vehicle involved to cart away the items, some of which weigh more than 50 kilograms," she said.
"Anyone who saw anything suspicious in the south Portland industrial area overnight Sunday is requested to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000."
