A moped rider of the same description was seen nearby soon afterwards but did not stop for police and has not yet been traced, police said.
PC Ben Harman said; “This is a particularly unpleasant offence, at a time when B&Q are supporting the NHS with supplies of personal protective equipment.
“If you saw the suspect in the area that night, perhaps on a moped, or if you think you may be able to put a name to this burglar in black, please contact us either online or by calling us on 101, quoting serial 1300 of 27/03.”
