EXPENSIVE items were stolen in a raid at a dog grooming business in Prees.

The property at the Prees Industrial Estate on Shrewsbury Road was broken into overnight and reported to West Mercia Police at 9.30am (Thursday, December 6).

A police spokesman said: "After an untidy search of the office and warehouse, items were stolen including pet grooming products and clippers. The burglar is believed to have left via double wooden doors to the side of the building," he said.

"The items stolen are expensive dog grooming products, in particular clippers, and officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have been offered them at a price 'too good to be true'."

Officers investigating the burglary are also appealing for any witnesses who saw or heard anything to contact West Mercia Police on 10, quoting crime reference 22/108752/18 or incident 151s of 061218.
