A number of perfumes were stolen from the shop on this occasion.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police confirmed: “We were called at about 4.15am today (April 20) with reports of a break-in at B&M, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough.

"Anyone with any information is asked to call 101 or visit our webchat and quote the reference 35/28841/26.”

The shop was also broken into at just before 3am on Friday, April 10 with a masked man getting away with ‘bottles of alcohol.’

Entry was gained by smashing the front door, which has since been boarded up. This was smashed once again in the most recent burglary.
