THREE suspects have been arrested following a 'high value' burglary in which £30,000 of jewellery was stolen.
The burglary took place at Merebrook Industrial Estate near Welland last Wednesday.
Two suspects were identified last Thursday and a third has since been identified.
The suspects were identified by detectives from the Integrated Offender Management (IOM) team, part of West Mercia Police.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "On Thursday, July 6 South Worcestershire IOM detectives identified two suspects connected to a high value burglary committed at an industrial estate near Welland, Malvern. Items of jewellery were stolen to the estimated value of around £30,000, which has not yet been located."
Detective Sergeant Kris Stevens of South Worcestershire IOM said: “Detectives and uniformed officers were deployed from a combined team of Integrated Offender Management (IOM) and a newly formed Neighbourhood Crime Fighting Team (NCFT) and swiftly arrested both males who were taken to Worcester police station for questioning.
"As a result of these swift arrests we were able to identify a third suspect who was located and arrested on Friday, July 7 on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary.
"All three suspects have been bailed with restrictive conditions while the investigation continues”
