Police have issued a warning following a spate of business burglaries last week. 

West Mercia Police have urged people to stay vigilant after several business premises were broken into around the Stourport Road, Kidderminster and Oldington Lane Industrial Estate areas. 

Officers said the common link appears to be the offender or offenders smashing a window, using ladders and separating the bars from windows. 

None of the burglaries are believed to be high value, but officers are asking people to stay alert. 

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "We would like to make you aware that we have had several business premises broken into areas in and around the Stourport Road, Kidderminster and Oldington Lane Industrial Estate.
