THIEVES raided a second bridal shop in the early hours of Tuesday morning, stealing more than £10,000 worth of stock.

Wedding dresses and veils were taken from Two's Company in Evesham Street, Smallwood, at about 3am, after offenders crowbarred the door open.

Owner Lydia Barrett says the robbers knew exactly what they were after, taking just the most expensive and sought-after gowns.

The raid included a distinct two-piece dress with red lacing across the bodice and fishtail-style skirt worth £900.

Some of the stolen stock was later found dumped near Hillcrest Gardens in Mayfields.

"It is absolutely devastating for a small business like us," said the businesswoman, who runs the firm with Pat Isherwood.

"Fortunately none of my customers' gowns were taken."
