TWO black and white 11-month-old springer spaniels are believed to have been stolen from a house in Church Hill at the weekend.

The dogs, one male and one female, were last seen at about 10pm on Friday and were discovered missing at 9am on Saturday.

Pc Adrian Smith, of Redditch police, said: "These dogs are fairly distinctive and so it is possible that someone saw or heard them being stolen or has noticed them since.

"We would appeal to anyone with any information to help our inquiries to get in touch on 08457 444888 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111."
