PLUMBERS and fitters in Thanet have been urged to report any Chaffoteaux Combi boilers that they are asked to install. Three of the heaters, together worth £900, were stolen form the forecourt at SNH Trade Centre, Albion Road, Birchington, during a delivery to the business.

A police spokesman said: “These particular models need special flues and programming so plumbers and fitters are asked to contact the trade centre if they come across them.”

The theft was reported at 7pm on Thursday.
