However, a Citroen Relay and Ford Transit van have not yet been found.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen these vehicles being driven after 8pm on March 21, as well as anyone who may have more information about the fittings, which are prefabricated for waste to energy pipelines and would require a test certificate by anybody who purchased them.

Anyone with information which may assist this investigation is asked to contact Leeds District CID on 101, or by using the contact options on the West Yorkshire Police website.

The crime reference is 1321014776.
