The £2,500 yellow Karcher washer was taken from premises on Worcester Road, Kidderminster at about 10.15am on Tuesday last week.

A police spokesman said: "The roller door had been left open due to the warm weather and the workers had gone for their break. The pressure washer was heavy and it would taken more than one person to lift it."
