Vans broken into in Broseley area

Several vans have been broken into in the Broseley area and numerous items stolen from them.

Published

The incidents took place between the evening of February 14 and the morning of February 15, when unidentified offenders broke into three vans at locations in Broseley.

Among the valuable items stolen from the vehicles were power tools, a satellite navigation system, torches and battery chargers.

The vehicles that were targetted were parked in Hockley Road, Woodhouse Road and Riddings Close, Broseley. The area is not covered by CCTV and police have been conducting house-to-house enquiries in an effort to identify the offenders.

An unidentified suspect was disturbed while trying to break into another van on the evening of February 14. This happened in Prestage Close, very near to the offence that took place at Riddings Close. The suspect was seen by the victim, but only from behind, so there is no description available that will assist in identification.
