THE thought of young children getting their hands on claw hammers, axes and saws is a chilling one.

Youngsters in Penhill have been seen with these tools designed to cut through wood after they were taken from a storage shed in an orchard.

People in this area need to be vigilant and make sure the tools are returned to their rightful owners, as well as ensuring no harm comes to the young people who have them.

The police are extremely concerned and it is vital that adults who find these tools should hand them in to the police before any damage can be done.
