A TRAILER packed with cider was stolen after a lorry driver unhooked it as he waited to swap it to another vehicle.

He detached the red curtain-sided trailer, briefly walked off and returned to find thieves towing the trailer away.

Worcester police later discovered the cab used to tow the trailer away, at 11pm yesterday, had been stolen from a yard in Kidderminster.

Anyone with information about the theft should call Worcester police on 08457 444888.
