West Mercia Police said the two incidents on Saturday, April 29 are believed to be caused by the same group.

A spokesperson said: "We can confirm that at around 7.10pm on Saturday, April 29, officers received a report of a theft at Cedar Avenue in Malvern.

"Shortly after, officers received a report of anti-social behaviour involving a group of men and boys aged between 12 to 23 years old.

"Police attended the scene and issued a dispersal order. We believe this incident to be linked together.

"Enquiries are currently ongoing."

Célia McCullough, whose garden the group stole from, said the gang were urinating on neighbouring properties.

Célia McCullough said: "We saw the group on the footage and we were able to count 21 people that were involved.

"They rushed into our garden and stole my son's bag from our cabin.

"They also stole an expensive bike as well. 

"We were driving back home after we found out but we were told by a neighbour that they had already left and had made their way to Malvern Link station.

"We heard that they were also throwing stones at homes and urinating on properties as well."
