Three thieves used a hydraulic crane to steal a sewage pump worth £15,500 from a Worcestershire industrial estate.

They struck at the Berry Hill estate, in Droitwich, on Saturday morning.

A crane fitted to a grey and white tipper lorry was used to take the pump, which weighs 1.5 tonnes and is grey, at ITT Flygt Ltd, in George Baylis Road.

Police said it was likely to be sold as scrap for about 10% of its value as it would arouse suspicion if it was sold as a genuine component.

Anyone with information is asked to contact West Mercia Police.
