Police are appealing for help to trace four suspected burglars following a break-in on Oakfield Road in the Wollescote area of Stourbridge last month.

The suspects climbed over a neighbour’s fence and snapped a rear UPVC lock to gain access to the house around 4am on 18 December.

Police believe they were looking for keys to a car parked on the drive, but instead they walked away with a couple of gift cards and £4 cash. DC Darren Barnes, who is investigating, said:

“The people responsible have shown a complete disregard for the victim. Not only breaking into his property, but by making a rude gesture to the camera. The value of what was taken may be relatively small, but this group could strike again so I am determined to catch them."
