BROMSGROVE Sporting FC have lambasted thieves who broke into the club the day after its latest successful Fan Zone event for England v Norway.
The raiders struck on Sunday, breaking into both Bromsgrove Sporting’s Victoria Ground and the Hangry Moose.
In a statement, the club said: “The individuals responsible were prepared and deliberate.
“They attempted to disable our security.
“Because we hold back-up systems, the incident was contained.”
The club added, as it was a cashless, card-only business, there was no cash on site to take.
“The impact is limited to repair costs and lost trade while we are closed.”
The club said it decided to close the Hangry Moose site so the authorities could carry out their investigation and the team could repair the damage.
And they urged witnesses or anyone with information on the perpetrators to call police on 101.
“Thank you for your continued support.”
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: “We received a call around 9.15am yesterday morning (Monday, July 13) with a report of a burglary at the Victoria Ground, Birmingham Road in Bromsgrove.
“An investigation is ongoing.”
More than 800 people attended the Fan Zone for the Norway match which England won 2-1 after extra time. The Three Lions face Argentina in only the nation’s fourth semi-final tomorrow (Wednesday).
