Suspicious activity. Potential theft from vehicles.

We are appealing for information after a suspicious male was seen trying to enter vehicles at Garganey Court in the Spennels area of Kidderminster around 0300 this morning, 23 September. 

The male was a large build and was wearing a balaclava and gloves when trying door handles on parked cars. 

We are keen to hear from anyone who may have any information or that may have been in the area around the time of the incident and heard or seen anything suspicious.

There are some simple but effective things you can do to help protect your property - where possible remove all valuable items from your vehicle before leaving it unattended.

We are also encouraging the community to call us on 101 if they see anyone acting suspiciously around a vehicle.
