Nearly 200 cartons of milk were stolen from the front entrance of a Droitwich school.

The 192 cartons - valued at £25 - were intended for the pupils of Chawson First School, in Wych Road, and disappeared between the time they were delivered between 2am and 6am on Wednesday. The one-third-pint cartons are blue with a yellow flash.

"One possibility is that they have been taken and dumped, so we would ask members of the public who find one of more cartons, whether full or empty, to contact us," said a Droitwich Police spokesman.

Additionally, anyone who saw anything suspicious at the school or in the area - or who has relevant information about the theft - is asked to call police on 08457 444 888, quoting 73S/180407. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
