A VAN containing £8,000 worth of window cleaning equipment was stolen from outside a home in Kempsey.

Larissa Knapp's son's favourite teddy bear was also stolen along with her three children's car seats which were in the white transit van.

Mrs Knapp said: "It was outside our house at Windmill Lane. My husband was about to take it to our parents' house where we keep it overnight at roughly 10.30pm on Saturday but obviously it wasn't there.

"It's a van used for our window cleaning business so everything was in there including our children's car seats and my sons favourite Bradley bear."

A water-fed pole system and tank, ladders and cleaning tools were in the van when it went missing.

Anyone who has seen the van, which has the registration number YR61 LYT, or has any information is asked to call police on 101.
