Four men appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court yesterday, each facing a charge of burglary.

Aaron Wilcox, 31, of no fixed abode, Wesley Williams, 34, of no fixed abode, Simon Budd, 38, of Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, and Lee Birch, 39, of Castle Foregate, Shrewsbury, were remanded in custody to appear at Shrewsbury Crown Court on November 22.
