ABOUT £12,000 worth of gardening items have been stolen during a burglary near Shatterford.
The incident happened at an outbuilding off the main A442 Bridgnorth Road between 5pm yesterday and 6.30am today.
Offenders drove across a field and smashed through a wooden fence to gain access to the property and then broke off a padlock to get into the barn.
A large amount of garden machinery and tools were stolen, including a Westwood V20/50 tractor mower with a brand new grass box, a Ryobi log splitter, a Hayter lawn mower, an Echo blower, an Echo chainsaw, an Echo hedge trimmer and other general gardening items.
The offenders are likely to have been using a van or similar vehicle large enough to get the tractor mower and other items in.
Anyone with information, including anyone who sees the items offered for sale, are asked to contact PC Dave Garner of West Mercia Police on 101, quoting incident 72-s-140414, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
