A GANG of masked men were spotted after two Worcester homes were broken into.

South Worcester Proactive CID is investigating four incidents that took place last night in relation to two house burglaries.

Detective Inspector Dave Knight confirmed that the offences all took place between 5pm and 10.10pm on Tuesday, October 11, in the city's Ombersley Road and London Road areas.

A house was broken into on Southall Avenue as three masked males were spotted acting suspiciously in the area of Gregory’s Mill Street and Coomb Road.

Another burglary took place shortly after 10pm in Camphill Road, off London Road.

DI Knight added that it is believed that the offenders were using a car and may not be local to the area.

“Detectives are investigating this spree and patrols will be focused in the areas,” he said.

Anyone with information about the burglaries is urged to contact West Mercia Police by calling 101, quoting incident reference 639 I 11102022.
