BURGLARS escaped with a £30,000 car after breaking into a house in Clent and taking the car's keys.

It happened at a house in Thicknall Lane, between 1.40am and 6.30am today (Friday, September 26).

The offenders broke in through a rear window and stole the keys to a black Audi A4 Sport convertible car, which they then took from the drive.

The burglary may be linked to another burglary at a house in Bromsgrove Road, Clent, between 1.30am and 7am today.

Nothing was stolen and but police believe the offenders may have been disturbed.

Witnesses or anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area during the early hours of the morning are asked to contact PC Jenni Price at Rubery Police Station on 08457 444888 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
