A Volkswagen Golf estate was taken from outside of Ludlow's South Shropshire Leisure Centre just hours before a Vauxhall Vectra was stolen from outside a business premises in nearby Tenbury Wells.

The Ludlow car theft is thought to have taken place between 1.45pm and 3.15pm on June 5. The silver Golf, registration number BF02 DMV, was stolen from the leisure centre car park in Bromfield Road

Two white males described as in their 30s, of medium build, and around 5.6 to 5.7 foot tall, were seen in the vehicle at the site. One was bearded and wore a green jacket, and the other was bald and in a green shirt and dark trousers.

That night, some time between the evening of June 5 and the morning of June 6, possibly around 3am, the grey Vectra, registration VO04 NYH, was taken from next to business on the industrial estate at Boreaston Lane, Tenbury Wells.

Then, between 10.30am and 11.30am on June 6, registration plates are believed to have been also stolen from a vehicle in a car park in Lower Galdeford, Ludlow.

Anyone with any information on the thefts is asked to call West Mercia Police on 101.
