VANDALS who threw stones at a shop breaking its windows were caught on CCTV.
Staff from Connect2Vape are appealing for help to find a group of four youths - two young men and women - spotted in the footage.
The group hung around outside for around 10 minutes before throwing stones at the shopfront windows and running off.
Two of the windows were shattered by the stones, with one of the gang making a hole in the glass with his elbow.
It happened at around 1am on the morning of June 12, in Broad Street.
The first woman is described as having blonde, shoulder length hair and wearing a lacy vest top with flowery pyjama bottoms.
The second female was wearing a parka-style coat covering her face.
The young men were described as one wearing a white Nike top and a hat to cover his face, with the other wearing a balaclava with smiley faces and peace symbols and a yellow JD bag on his back.
Diane Birchill, manager of the shop, said: “This is the last thing you need as an independent business.
“It seems weird that they hung around outside for 10 minutes before throwing the stones, and even weirder that they chose our shop when you think we have got a camera right in the middle of the window so we saw them clearly.
“We came up last night just to make sure they didn’t come back and try it again but they haven’t been back since.”
Andrew Connellan, owner of the shop, said police officers told him two men have been arrested and are due to appear in court on Friday.
Anyone with information about what happened can contact West Mercia Police on 101 quoting incident number 0020S 120 619.
