'A LARGE illegal encampment' of travellers in Bromsgrove was moved on by police on Wednesday afternoon (January 15).

The travellers had camped on a trading estate in Buntsford Drive, near to three car dealerships - Peugeot, Nissan and Toyota.

West Mercia Police issued a picture of several camper vans and caravans that were illegally parked.

Officers said that high-visibility patrols were conducted to 'provide reassurance to local businesses and deter spontaneous criminality'.

They added: "A court injunction was served and all vehicles eventually moved off without further problems."
