POLICE in Redditch are appealing for clues after thieves stole horse tack and blankets from Gorcott Hill, near Beoley.

The theft happened overnight between Wednesday, January 17, and the next day.

The thieves stole a quantity of driving harnesses but also horse blankets, which they took off the animals in the field.

A police spokesman said: "We would really like a lead on this.

"Not only did the theft happen but these horses were left uncovered in cold temperatures after their blankets were stolen."
