A REWARD of £3,500 is still on offer to anyone with information leading to the conviction of burglars who stole £12,000 worth of building equipment in Harvington.

Shenstone-based Adam Hewitt has been building a house at Neild House Farm since March and has since had three break-ins.

The latest, in which contractors' equipment and hired tools were stolen between November 9 and the next day, prompted a frustrated Mr Hewitt to put up the reward. He also employed a security guard.

The burglars ripped open the side of the barn to steal equipment including a quad bike and trailer transformers, and assorted tools.

Anyone with information can call Kidderminster Police on 01562 820888.
