THE "suspicious circumstances" reported by villagers in a remote Worcestershire car park have been revealed.

Residents raised concerns with Malvern police earlier this month about suspicious circumstances in a Severn Stoke car park.

More police patrols were issued to tackle the suspicious circumstances in the area, and the car park was added to the Malvern police patrol plan.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "Residents had raised concerns regarding vehicles parked in secluded areas or dead ends and were concerned about their presence and possible drug activity.

"Patrols in the area have continued, but no further reports of vehicles and no evidence of drug-related activity has been identified."
