Police are appealing for witnesses or information to a burglary at a business in Knighton.

At around 12.20am on Monday 24 May, a business was broken into in Station Road and a quantity of Husqvarna chainsaws were stolen as well as cash. Damage was caused to the property during the burglary.

PC Wayne Strangwood said: “We are in the early stages of our investigation and would like to speak to anyone who may have seen any suspicious behaviour or who has any CCTV from the area.

“At this stage we believe a bronze Nissan Nivara pickup registration FX66 UER was used during this burglary. The vehicle, which is bronze in colour and has green signage on it, was stolen earlier that morning during a burglary in Knighton.”

Investigating officers believe two men or possibly more were involved in this incident. One of the men is described as aged between 40 and 50 and of a heavy build. He was wearing a wax jacket and wellington boots.

Anyone with information or CCTV footage is urged to contact police on 101 quoting incident 71i of 24 May. Alternatively information can be passed through the online reporting function on West Mercia Police website under the section Tell Us About section.

If you have information but don’t feel comfortable speaking to police, you can speak to the independent charity Crimestoppers. It is 100% anonymous, they never ask your name and they cannot trace your call or I.P address. You can contact them online or by calling 0800 555 111.
