The Lion Hotel

The historic Grade 1 listed, Lion Hotel on Wyle Cop was targeted on Thursday afternoon with about 20 windows damaged.

Police received calls at about 4pm.

A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: "An investigation has been launched and officers are making enquiries towards making an arrest or arrests."

In December the hotel and surrounding properties were evacuated when a malicious bomb threat was made. A huge police operation took place to make sure that the threat was not genuine.

There was no response from the hotel today.
