West Mercia Police have launched an inquiry after a vehicle on Barbourne Road in Worcester was egged on two separate occasions within eight days. The force is treating the incidents as criminal damage and is asking anyone who saw or heard anything to come forward.
The first incident is reported to have taken place between Sunday 19 July and Monday 20 July. The second happened between Monday 27 July and Tuesday 28 July. No further details about the vehicle or any injuries have been released.

| Second egging | 27–28 July |
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police urged anyone with information to make contact. The statement said:
"An officer looking into the incidents is appealing for witnesses, or anyone who may have information, to please get in contact with police."
Anyone who can assist has been asked to email PC Nikki Payne at nikki.payne@westmercia.police.uk. The appeal suggests officers are still gathering evidence and want to establish whether the two events are linked or the work of different people.
Local impact and what to look out for
Egging may be regarded as a minor form of anti-social behaviour, but when repeated it can cause distress, cost for cleaning or repair, and a sense of insecurity for residents. Police classification as criminal damage means there could be an investigation into intent and any possible pattern of offending on the street.
- Two incidents occurred within eight days on Barbourne Road.
- Both are being investigated as criminal damage.
- Witnesses should contact PC Nikki Payne via the provided email.
Local residents who live or work on Barbourne Road or who were passing at the times stated may hold dashcam footage, doorbell camera clips or recollections that could help. Anyone with material is asked to preserve it and share it with police rather than posting evidence publicly.
Officers will consider all available leads. For ongoing updates on policing and community safety in Worcester, residents can follow West Mercia Police communications and local news coverage.
