Officers say two males were in the van, one getting out to have a look around business properties and out buildings, the other staying in the vehicle.

But they say "thankfully it doesn't appear that anything was taken on this occasion".

PCSO Sam Newbrook, of the policing team at Shifnal and Albrighton, said they recently received a report of a van acting suspiciously in the Astol area, near Norton, on Monday, between 6.34pm and 6.40pm.

PCSO Newbrook said: "This vehicle was a white Ford Transit with two black stripes down the front of the bonnet.

"Two males were in the van, one getting out to have a look around business properties and out buildings, the other staying in the vehicle.

"Thankfully it doesn't appear that anything was taken on this occasion."

PCSO Newbrook said if this was you, or you recognise or can identify the vehicle, you should contact police via the ‘Tell Us About’ form at westmercia.police.uk or by calling 101 quoting incident number 00136 of 10102023.

If you aren’t comfortable contacting police directly, information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers. They never ask your name and they cannot trace your call or IP address. You can call 0800 555 111 or visit their website crimestoppers-uk.org
