Thieves escaped in a boat after stealing from a Derbyshire company, police said.

Offenders broke into a warehouse at Nelson Distribution, on Goods Road in Belper, and stole alcohol and power tools before slashing curtain-sided lorries parked on site.

They then escaped in a small boat moored on the river nearby and got into a van parked on Chevin Road.
