AN Evesham estate that has been plagued by car badge thefts has been hit again, after three more vehicles were targeted.

Rear name badges were stolen from vehicles in Honeysuckle Close - following four that have already gone missing from the area - between 5.30pm on Thursday, January 8 and 8am the following day.

The vehicles affected were a blue Vauxhall Vectra, a brown Rover 414 and a white Ford Escort van.

"We suspect that young people may be involved in these incidents and we would urge parents to be on the look out for telltale signs that their children may have illegally come by any badges in their possession," said a police spokesman.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them on 08457 444888.
