All of the equipment was taken from a store room inside the property. Power tools and associated items were also taken.

DC Craig Pearson of Calderdale CID, said: “Given the amount of equipment taken we suspect the thief/thieves will have used a van to transport the goods and taken a long time to move them from the property.

“The items are also highly specialised so I would urge anyone with a particular interest in outdoor activities including climbing / mountaineering, mountain biking, caving, canyoning and parachuting to get in contact.”
