A 57-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving following an incident in Tenbury over the weekend.
A video which circulated on social media showed a tractor wading through extensive flood water running through the town.
Businesses in the local area have reported having their windows smashed due to the tidal waves created by the tractor.
The man arrested has been released on bail while enquiries continue.
Inspector Dave Wise, who leads the safer neighbourhood team in Tenbury Wells, said: “I’d like to thank everyone who brought this incident to our attention, and to the local community for their co-operation and support yesterday while we carried our initial enquiries.
“I understand the upset and anger that the incident caused, and I hope that the arrest we made yesterday evening offers reassurance that we are actively investigating it.
“Officers will continue to be out and about in Tenbury in the coming days to assist the local community and our partner agencies with recovery efforts following the flooding.”
