Police are investigating after a tractor drove through a flooded high street in Tenbury Wells in Worcestershire, triggering a wave of water that hit local businesses, smashing windows and knocking doors open.
West Mercia police said they were aware of videos on social media showing the tractor driving through the flood water on Sunday and that they were investigating.
The police statement read, “We’re actively investigating the incident and officers are in Tenbury Wells this morning speaking to people whose businesses and properties may have been affected, as well as reviewing additional video footage. No arrests have been made at this time.”
Some business owners in the market town said they did not think they would have been badly affected by the flooding if not for the water smashing windows and doors, which were keeping the waters out.
Others said they had already been flooded, but the wave worsened the damage.
