POLICE are trying to trace the rightful owners of these tools after arresting a man in Fishponds.
A spokesperson said officers were called to Fitzroy Road, between Chester Park Road and Berkeley Road, at about 11pm on Wednesday after a man was seen “acting suspiciously around vehicles and gardens”.
The spokesperson added: “A man was arrested nearby on suspicion of going equipped for theft, vehicle interference and possessing a knife in public.
“He has been released on bail pending further investigation.”
The items seized by police include drills, a hand saw, torches, a first aid kit and battery jump starters.
Police believe all of them may have been stolen, but so far they have been unable to identify the rightful owners.
They have called on anyone who can prove ownership of the items to call 101 and quote the crime reference number 5224 221 132.
