Police investigating mice thrown into McDonalds restaurants in Birmingham arrest second man

Officers investigating an incident in which live rodents were thrown into a Birmingham McDonalds restaurant have arrested another man.

Following an appeal earlier this week, a 30-year-old man is now in custody while police investigations continue. A 32-year-old man arrested earlier this week in connection with this incident on Monday (October 30) has been bailed.

Police say the incidents are “totally unacceptable incidents”. They happened at McDonalds restaurants in Regina Drive, Perry Barr and near Star City off Watson Road, Nechells.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “Our position is clear, this is appalling, and will not be tolerated. We will hunt down and prosecute anyone who commits such acts. We’re stepping up patrols across the region and will be offering reassurance to our communities.”
