Blood found at Shrewsbury burglary scene
A burglar may have cut himself while breaking into a town centre chemists in Shrewsbury early today.
Blood was found at the scene after the security alarm was activated at Lloyds Pharmacy on Smithfield Road shortly after midnight.
It’s believed a hockey stick was used to smash the lower glass panel of the front door to gain entry.
The offender made an untidy search of the prescription drugs area before making off with a number of prescription drugs.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said today: “We are anxious to receive any information which might help our investigation.
“A hockey stick was recovered from near the shop entrance which was blood-stained. There was also blood inside the premises, on the door glass and outside the front entrance.
“The burglary took place between midnight and 12.20am today. Witnesses are being sought and we are also appealing for information regarding anyone who might have suffered a very recent cut in suspicious circumstances.
“Contact Shrewsbury police station on 101 or the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”
