Fireworks raid at garden centre
Hundreds of fireworks worth thousands of pounds have been stolen from a garden centre in the West Midlands.

The £4,000 haul was taken from Wyevale Garden Centre on Chester Road in Aldridge overnight on Wednesday.

Burglars broke into a sealed container to take the fireworks, made by Herefordshire company Firework Factors.

Police say the fireworks have the potential to be dangerous and could cause serious injury or even kill if they are mishandled.
