A compressor and computer router were among the tools stolen when thieves broke into a Bongaree sports club late last month.
Thieves cut padlocks on a gate leading to a utility lane between two buildings at the First Ave site between noon on August 28 and 8am on August 29.
They then removed locks from the locker and maintenance rooms and forced open lockers to steal an electric jigsaw, a drill, battery chargers, power boards and leads.
Burglars strike at Deception Bay

The handbag was later found nearby.
