A WACKER plate worth £2,950 was taken from a construction site in Cutnall Green at some point between 3.30pm on July 19 and 7.30am on July 21.
The RPC 30/40 model was taken as thieves gained access to the site off Horton Lane, causing £50 worth of damage in the process.
The compactor is a machine used to reduce the size of waste material or soil by flattening it.
