West Midlands Police officers were alerted to items being stolen from a car in Herringbone Way, Pensnett, just before 4.15am on Thursday.

Officers soon attended and spotted two men, who ran from the scene.

The officers quickly tracked both men to Stallings Lane, finding one person attempting to hide in a bush.

Two men, aged 21 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of theft. The stolen items were recovered, and police later became aware of another similar reported theft from a vehicle in the area.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "Anyone with information, or has also been a victim, is asked to contact us via Live Chat on our website or by calling 101 and quote 20/797640/24.
