Officers have had reports from Wiseman Crescent and Christine Avenue around 2am on Monday.

PCSO Zoe Beven, of the Wellington West & Rural Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: "We are investigating reported persons trying car doors through the night.

"We have had reports from Wiseman Crescent and Christine Avenue around 2am on 24th September 2024 and we want to reassure residents we are doing everything we can to trace those responsible.

"If you’ve seen anything suspicious or have information that might help with enquires, please call 101."

You can also report a crime on the West Mercia Police website.

Police advise people to lock your vehicle and not keep anything on display and to call them at the time of seeing people doing this on 999 as they could also be trying house doors for burglaries or stealing cars.

From flytipping and shoplifting to robbery and rape - we want to know what you make of the crimes in your area that are going unreported or are reported with no further action. Do you see this as a big issue?

Let us know in the survey below that we may use to inform our ongoing crime campaign where we aim to highlight the number of low-level and unreported crime sweeping the country and going unpunished.

We aim to compile a dossier of evidence - both data and stories - and present these to the Prime Minister. Find here a Google survey form to fill in.
