More than 2,000 oxygen cylinders have been stolen from an industrial estate, police confirm.

Officers were twice called to Watling Street Business Park in Cannock in Staffordshire - on 22 February and 8 March - after a group of men were seen loading medical oxygen cylinders onto a flatbed truck before driving away.

A total of 2,424 cylinders were stolen across both incidents, according to the force.

Anyone who has any information which could help the investigation is urged to contact Staffordshire Police.
