More than £6000 worth of cigarettes stolen

Police are appealing for information after thousands of pounds worth of cigarettes were stolen from a garage in Much Wenlock.

The incident happened at just after 7:30am this morning.

A small white car derived van pulled onto the forecourt of the garage in Much Wenlock.  A least one offender has exited the van, approached a pallet of goods that had been delivered and cut back the plastic wrapping to steal a quantity of cigarettes. 

The offender then got back into the van and drove off.  The value of the cigarettes is between £6,000 and £7,000.

The van was a Vauxhall Corsa car derived version, with a number plate ending in BZB.  The Registration plate that was on the vehicle is believed to be false.

Anyone with information is asked to call West Mercia Police on 101.
