POLICE are appealing for information after a home in Bromsgrove was burgled by men asking to use the toilet.

At around 10.20pm on Friday, November 18, two men knocked on the front door of a house in Rowall Close, asking if one could use the toilet.

The man then shouted from the bathroom that the door was stuck and the occupant went to help him, leaving the other man waiting at the front door.

After the men had left, the occupant realised that a mobile phone had been taken from the window sill.

West Mercia Police is now urging anyone with information on the distraction burglary to contact them on 101, quoting crime number 0842s.
