A LOCK has been cut on the main gates to an electricity sub-station.

Police have issued a warning to the public following the damage at the Western Power sub-station in Bromyard Road in Ledbury.

The lock was cut between 2.45pm on November 21 and 11.25am on November 28.

Ledbury Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "Playing around a sub-station, compound or pylon can be extremely dangerous as high voltage electricity can jump through the air.

"Please remind children not to build dens that might interfere with an electrical substation; not to retrieve a ball or object that may end up in a substation compound; to keep clear of the yellow symbol meaning danger of death."

If you have any information then call 101 quoting incident number 0297S 281118.
