“It is not just the men’s team that benefits from this equipment but also the numerous junior teams that play down at the pitch.”
A Derbyshire Constabulary spokesperson said: “Officers are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area around the time, including those with dash cam footage.
“Anyone who has any information is asked to contact us, quoting 21*445604.”
