Two people wearing hoods and gloves were seen on CCTV entering the premises on the Banbridge Road in Lurgan at around 4.40am. They left the scene in a light coloured van four minutes later.
The incident coincides with two other thefts in the locality at the same time. A generator, grinder and rotavator were stolen from a farm at the Hall Road and Banbridge Road junction and other equipment was taken from nearby road works.
A PSNI spokesperson pointed out that a rock breaker taken from the road works weighs around 400kg and would have required several people to lift it.
