BURGLARS broke into a Worcester bowling centre causing more than £3,000 of damage and stealing £870 in cash.

CCTV footage from inside Bowl Xtreme, off Droitwich Road, shows two people walking around with a torch at 2.21am yesterday.

"They knew exactly what kind of sensors we had and the range they work at and stayed in the peripheral area. If they had gone for the ATM they would have set off the sensors," said Daniel Tilly, manager of the centre.

"I could not believe they did not set any alarm off," said Mr Tilly.

"We do have footage of them coming through a door with a torch," he said.

Mr Tilly added that he was angry and upset to learn of the break-in, which was discovered by a cleaner at around 8am.

If anyone saw anything suspicious at the premises, or in the surrounding area, they should call Worcester police 08457 444888, quoting 21C/221204.
