"We believe the thieves were two males," said a council spokeswoman. "If you have any information about this theft, or see anyone trying to sell a similar item, please get in touch with Gwent Police on 111 quoting crime reference number 2000111166.
"Given the current climate, walking in to find vehicles damaged and tools stolen is quite frankly demoralising.

"Council employees are working exceptionally hard to keep front line service running, and thieves stealing equipment we need to do our work is just not helping.
"We have recently updated our CCTV at our Ty Blaen depot and have shared our footage with the police, so we hopeful that the thieves will be caught and prosecuted."
