A BANK in Pershore had a lucky escape after would-be thieves broke in last week.

Nothing was stolen in the break-in which happened at the Lloyds TSB branch, in Broad Street, between 2am and 3.35am on Friday.

Police believe the intruders were disturbed before they could take anything and they had already left by the time officers arrive.

A West Mercia Police spokesman said: “We’re appealing for any witnesses to come forward if anybody was seen hanging around or any vehicles should call police on 101 quoting incident number 585S120713.”

A spokesman for Lloyds TSB declined to comment further on the matter.

“It’s a police matter now and we are working with the authorities. Everyone’s okay,” she said.
