The One Stop convenience store in Shrewsbury Road was broken into early on this morning, with neighbours saying they heard loud noises and a car engine.

It is understood that the shop's security fog system was activated, and that the only thing taken was a small amount of sweets.

The shop had to close today, with the door still damaged. Police attended including a forensics team.

Eleanor Harris of West Mercia Police said: “Police are carrying out enquiries after a burglary at the One Stop Shop in Shrewsbury Road in Market Drayton.
