POLICE are reviewing CCTV coverage as they investigate a ram raid in which criminals used a JCB to ram raid a bank in Cleobury Mortimer.
West Mercia Police is appealing to the Cleobury Mortimer community for information following a cash machine theft which occurred in the early hours of Monday (December 21). 
It occurred at Lloyds Bank on High Street at 3:11am in the morning. It is thought three or four people arrived at the scene and used a JCB to force entry to the premises. 
They then removed the cash machine from inside. The JCB was discovered abandoned nearby and is believed to have been reported stolen.

The offenders are then thought to have left the scene, travelling in the direction of Cleehill in a red Land Rover. They may have also been seen on the Tenbury Road.

"We are actively pursuing a number of lines of enquiry to identify the offenders and CCTV is currently being reviewed,” said the investigating officer Detective Sergeant Mathew Crisp. 
“I would also like to reassure local residents that there is thought to be no threat to the wider public. If you witnessed anything suspicious or saw a group of people in balaclavas in the early hours of this morning, please get in touch."

Anyone with information that could help the investigation should call West Mercia Police on the non-emergency 101 number quoting incident reference number 49s of Monday 21 December.
