A CHARITY shop was one of two businesses broken in to overnight on Tuesday.

Thieves stole thousands of pounds of car parts - including an Alfa Romeo car engine and a Ford Mondeo radio - from the yard of City Spares in Watery Lane, Hereford, between 5pm on Tuesday and 8.30am on Wednesday.

The British Heart Foundation on St Peter's Street was also targeted, and a small amount of cash was taken from a safe after the building was accessed via an insecure window. Hundreds of pounds of damage was caused to the safe.

If you have any information call Hereford police station on 0300 333 3000.
