A BLACK Mercedes C350 was stolen after a car-key burglary in Hagley on Saturday (July 14).

The incident happened in Lodge Crescent at around 7pm when the thieves first took tools from an unlocked shed to use to break into the house.

They then took the keys and gained access to the car, which had the registration number BT10 LSN and was parked on the drive.

Two men were seen by a neighbour driving it away towards the main road.

PC Ed Banks appealed for any witnesses or anyone with any information to contact him by calling 0300 333 3000 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

He also urged residents to ensure all tools were locked away securely in a shed or garage at all times and make sure keys were not on show where opportunist criminals could see them.
