Dear Resident

We are appealing to the Benthall and local area community for information following two attempted burglaries in the area of The Mines, Benthall, Broseley, at around 2:00 am on the morning of Saturday the 23rd of November 2024.

The attempted burglaries took place in the early hours of the morning and CCTV shows three unidentified suspects approaching two properties and attempting to gain entry.  Fortunately they were unsuccessful.  

Officers have attended the victims addresses to take further details to allow for possible further investigation.  These types of offences often take place in groups and it is possible that other addresses were targeted and that the victims have not yet discovered this.

Did you see anything suspicious or have any information that might help enquires?

Please get in touch with us by using our online reporting services at Report a crime | West Mercia Police or calling 101 and quoting SAAB SAFE Reference number 00089_I_23112024.  Alternatively, you can contact the Safer Neighbourhood Team on bmw.snt@westmercia.police.uk 

If you aren’t comfortable contacting us directly, you can pass on information anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website: www.crimestoppers-uk.org

Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime. 

Kind regards,

PCSO Malcolm Goddard
