An ARREST has been made following a break-in at a city centre petrol station over the weekend.

The Essar petrol station on Henwick Road was closed on Sunday (November 6) and police crime scene investigation vans were seen parked on the forecourt.

The entrance and exit of the garage were cordoned off and the prices for fuel were not displayed.

A neighbour of the property claimed that the garage had been "robbed", but a staff member for the garage confirmed to a Worcester News journalist that there was a break-in overnight.
