WITNESSES are being sought after an overhead barrier was seen being damaged at the KFC drive-through restaurant in Redditch.

It happened at around 5.30pm on Sunday, April 1, at the KFC restaurant in Trescott Road on the Trafford Retail Park.

The restaurant manager was informed by two people that they had seen a man jump up and grab the overhead barrier for the drive-through which then collapsed. The drive-through was closed for a time for health and safety reasons while an engineer was called out.

PC Richard Thomas said: "This caused considerable inconvenience and loss of trade while the drive-through was closed.

"We understand that people saw this damage being caused and reported it but did not leave contact details. We urgently need them to come forward and tell us what happened."

Anyone with information can contact PC Thomas at Redditch Police Station on 0300 333 3000, quoting incident reference 561-S-010412, or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and released on police bail, pending further inquiries, until Friday, April 20.
