COSMETICS worth up to £10,000 have been stolen from a garage in Bidford.

A neighbour alerted police after hearing the house alarm and seeing three men driving from the scene in Ebsdorf Close.

The Estee Lauder products are believed to be worth between £8,000 and £10,000 and were taken at around 1.30pm on Monday.

Police are searching for the men who were all sitting in the front of the van and the driver is described as in his 20s and wearing a blue peaked cap.

The blue Mercedes Sprinter Van, registration T365 JGS, had been stolen from Tyseley earlier that day and was seen turning left out of the Close in the direction of the school and then towards Stratford.

Anyone with information about the incident, or who is offered Estee Lauder cosmetics for sale, should contact Alcester police on 01926 415000 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
