Malvern jewellery raid - car caught on CCTV

CCTV of a car believed to be linked to a burglary in Malvern has been released by police.

Detectives investigating a burglary that took place near Malvern in November have released a CCTV image of a car they would like to trace.

Between 11.30am and 1.30pm on Thursday, November 8, someone has forced entry to the rear kitchen window of a house on the A449 Worcester Road at Pin's Green near Newland. They have stolen a large amount of jewellery worth thousands of pounds. 

At the time of the offence, a witness recalls seeing a car with tinted windows pull up on a nearby lay and pick up a lone male. It then drove off in the direction of Worcester.

This car was caught on CCTV images from a neighbouring property at around 11.50am and it appears to be a silver Vauxhall Vectra estate, a 1995 to 2002 model.

Detective Constable Pete Ryland, who is investigating the burglary, said: "The car is central to our investigation: its driver and the person it picks up could either be important witnesses or potential suspects and I need to trace them.

"If you recognise the Vectra, with its distinctive blacked out windows, please get in touch."

DC Ryland can be contacted via the non-emergency police number 101 or information can be passed on anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Please quote the reference number 325S 08/11/12.
