INTRUDERS broke into two upmarket district hotels - and tried to get into a third - on Tuesday evening, stealing car keys and a laptop.

Staff at the Ramada Hotel in Habberley Road, Bewdley, reported a ground floor guest room had been entered between 7.45pm and 8.45pm through the window.

Car keys to the occupier's silver Volkswagen Passat, registration number TON 61Y, were taken and the vehicle stolen.

At 9.11pm employees at the Stourport Manor Hotel, Hartlebury Road, Stourport, told police a £1,500 laptop was missing from a ground floor guest room which had also been broken into through the window.

Earlier a break-in at the Gainsborough House Hotel, Bewdley Hill, Kidderminster, was foiled.

Police searched the hotel grounds after they were called at 8.23pm and discovered a set of ladders against the side of the building leading to a first floor window.

A Kidderminster Police spokeswoman said: "We're treating them separately but from the way they've been done they're possibly linked."

Anyone with information can contact Kidderminster Police on 01562 820888 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
