CAT flap burglars crept into a Hagley house while the occupants slept and searched their kitchen and living area.

It is not yet known if anything was stolen in the raid, which happened in Station Road, Hagley, between 10pm last night (Sunday, January 10) and 6am today (January 11).

After unsuccessfully trying to force open a window, the intruders removed the cat flap from the kitchen door and managed to reach the key that was in the lock before entering the premises.

Anyone with information that could help to track down the burglars should call 101 and ask for the West Mercia force control room.
