Officers said the area was fairly quiet due to Sunday trading, with most of the premises in the area shut.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "This large amount of metal will need to be offloaded and sold to someone.
"We would like to hear from anyone who may have been offered silver-plated brass taps.
"In addition we would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed anything around the time of the incident."
The taps were stolen from the yard on Kingsteignton Road between 5pm and 9pm on February 10.
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to call police on 101.
