Firm targeted by thieves offers £2,000 reward

The break-in occurred at the MFL Plant Machinery unit in Sperrin View Business Park in the early hours of Tuesday, March 13.

Substantial damage was caused to the building when the thieves, thought to have been two men, rammed the forklift through a glass door and metal shutter at the front of the premises, sometime between 3am and 4am.

The men made off with a number of valuable Milwaukee power tools.
