Police have arrested two men from the Birmingham area on suspicion of burglary following two incidents in Kempsey.
Overnight on Friday 30 June and Saturday 1 July, offenders broke into a property in Bestmans Lane, Kempsey and stole jewellery and cash.
A silver Peugeot was seen driving away on CCTV footage.
A second burglary took place on the morning of Monday 3 July on Main Road, Kempsey, where a silver Peugeot was also witnessed at the scene.
Later that day officers intercepted a silver Peugeot which they stopped in Henwick Road, Worcester and arrested two men from the Birmingham area on suspicion of burglary.
Some of the items taken were recovered by police who have also made enquiries in the Jewellery Quarter area of Birmingham in a bid to recover further property.
The South Worcestershire burglary team is currently questioning two men in custody about the incidents while investigations continue.
DI Dave Knight of South Worcestershire said: “This is a good example of various units working together with the goal of making South Worcestershire a tricky area for burglars to ply their ‘trade’.
“I would encourage anyone who saw a silver Peugeot car in the area around these dates to contact the burglary team at Worcester Police, quoting incident number 188_I_01072023.”
Anyone with information should call DS Grant Fraser on 01905 331031.
