THIEVES have stolen a new £15,700 motor boat from a Stourport cruiser company.

The Fletcher GTO Arrowstreak had not taken to the water since being delivered to Severn Valley Cruisers when it was stolen and taken away on the galvanised trailer on which it had been parked in the boat yard.

The 17ft long cream boat, which has a blue flash pattern, was still covered in shrink wrapping which had not been removed since its delivery by the manufacturers when it was stolen from the York Street firm at 8am on Sunday.

Anyone who saw anybody acting suspiciously should contact Kidderminster Police on 01562 820888.
