POLICE were called to a derelict pub following reports of crime. 

Officers were called to Perdiswell House, a former Harvester on the outskirts of Worcester, on Friday evening (December 22). 

A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "We were called to a report of criminal damage at Perdiswell House in Worcester around 5pm on December 22.

"Officers attended the property but couldn’t find any evidence of criminal damage or anyone at the property."

We reported that the owners of Perdiswell House introduced tougher security in the summer after a spate of vandalism. 

The former pub's windows were shattered and walls painted with graffiti when it was broken into earlier this year.

Stronger reinforced walls around the site's perimeter were erected.
