Brave resident foils village burglary
RAF police officers foiled a burglary in Cosford, recovering a 'significant quantity' of stolen power tools.
A member of the public confronted two would-be burglars in the village and he alerted the officers who confronted and detained both men. They were then arrested by West Mercia Police officers.
With both men in custody, police searched the vehicle the pair had travelled in and found a number of stolen goods. They then searched houses they were linked with and found more garden and household power tools.
PCSO Mal Goddard said: "There have been a number of burglaries in the surrounding area and the police have been able to identify the owners of some of the property recovered, this will be returned as soon as possible.
The arrests happened late on Wednesday and police are now attempting to trace the owners of the tools.
