Kidderminster school targeted by thieves who stole minibuses for the second time
Two minibuses have been stolen from an academy in Kidderminster which has been targeted by thieves for the second time.
Staff discovered the theft which happened during the Easter holiday.
Police today appealed for information saying the 'callous theft' would bring disruption to the school.
Officers were called to ContinU Plus Academy, in Finepoint Way, on the Kidderminster and Stourport border, last Tuesday (12).
It is believed two offenders broke into the grounds of the academy at around 9.30pm by disabling the electric gates.
Two white Ford Transit minibuses, both complete with the academy livery, were stolen without keys.
Inspector James Ashton, of West Mercia Police, said: "ContinU Plus Academy is a specialist school for the Wyre Forest area and relies on these minibuses to transport students to and from school.
"This is a particularly callous theft targetting the school for a second time and will have a significant impact on children looking to return to school after the Easter break.
"We are appealing for potential witnesses to the theft and would like to hear from anyone who was in the area of Finepoint Way on the evening of 12 April and may have seen anyone acting suspiciously, or saw the two minibuses being driven or parked up somewhere either that evening or since."
Three of the school minibuses were stolen last summer. They were all replaced before two were taken in this latest theft.
Anyone with information can call police on 101 quoting incident 138S of 13 April.
Alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
