Officers from West Mercia Police’s Local Policing Priority Team together with the force’s dog unit, operation patrol unit and the National Police Air Service were on hand to tackle the incident in the heart of the town.

The force confirmed two people were arrested with the prospect of more arrests in the coming days. The vehicle was seized and a stolen generator recovered.
