THIEVES made off with a hefty haul of garden equipment after breaking into a garage in Belbroughton.

The incident happened between 1am and 8am on Friday August 3, at a property in Bonfire Hill.

The gang's loot, worth more than £2,500, included a sit-on lawn mower, a small lawn mower, a petrol strimmer, a hedge cutter, a petrol rotavator, two video recorders and a pair of skis.

Pc Alan Poole, from West Mercia Police, said: "The thieves would probably have needed a good sized vehicle to transport all of these items and therefore we would like to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious looking vehicles in the area on Friday morning."

Anyone with information should contact Pc Poole by calling 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
