Detective Inspector Richard Davies said: “We believe there were people outside the pub who saw what happened who have yet to speak to us and we would encourage those people to get in contact.

“Fortunately, no-one was injured and the vehicle was not driven at anyone but damage was caused to a gate and the incident has quite rightly caused concern to people.”

Any witnesses, or anyone with information about the identity of the driver, is asked to contact West Mercia Police on 101 extension 7702257 or by emailing dl-fcid@westmercia.police.uk
