POLICE are investigating three attempted breaks-in at a Forest business estate.

The would-be thieves removed a whole window during the spree at the Waterloo business park in Drybrook.

Staff at Groom-a-Dog, the Pine and Oak Centre and Brightside Windows discovered the breaks-in when they arrived for work last Thursday.

Denise Broughton, of Groom-a-Dog, said: "They removed the window and had a root about but they

didn't take anything."

Nigel Cooper of the Pine and Oak Centre found a ladder propped against the wall leading to his first floor office.

He said: "Whoever it was must know the place because they put the ladder to get into my office."

Police visited the site on Thursday morning and are investigating.
