Boy left tied to tree

A ten-year-old boy was tied to a tree by two balaclava-clad boys in Shrewsbury.

West Mercia Police are treating the incident as suspicious.

It happened when the young boy was playing in the garden of a house in Severn Bank on Sunday afternoon.

Two boys, aged about 12-years-old, came into the garden, grabbed him from behind and tied him to the tree.

A West Mercia Police spokesman said it could have been very dangerous.

"Fortunately the boy was found soon after and was uninjured but very shaken."
