STAFF at a popular riverside pub watched as a person stole an item from one of their outdoor pods.

The Holt Fleet's staff said the thief must smell of diesel after they had one of their outdoor heaters stolen.

They said they watched the individual on CCTV walking across the bridge opposite the pub, pulling the heater behind them.

"We have multiple CCTV images, and you must smell of diesel!!

"On reviewing the footage, you have walked over the bridge and back, pulling it, and we have a great image of you and your clothing.

"Anyone driving over the bridge between 4.45am & 5am with DASHCAM footage, we’d be very grateful.

"You failed to take some much-needed parts that it needs so it won't actually work.

"If you’d like to return it, we’d be very appreciative, but we will leave this in the hands of the police."

Worcester News contacted West Mercia Police about the theft and said they could not find a record of the crime.
