Three men, armed with a crowbar, who broke into a garage in Redditch ran off when they accidentally set off an audible alarm.
At around 10.20pm on Monday (October 17) the trio used a crowbar to break into the rear of a small garage on Droitwich Road, Feckenham before smashing a window.
The would-be-thieves then fled the scene when an alarm their break-in had triggered began to sound.
Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident reference number 0177s181016
