The ram raid happened at about 2.50am today (Wednesday) in Gunthorpe Road, Gunthorpe, when a 4x4 was used to remove a shutter from a shop.

Severe damage was done to the building and much of the stock in the shop has been destroyed, and left scattered at the shop front.

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said: “It is believed offenders used a 4x4 vehicle to pull the roller shutter from the front of the shop before ripping out an ATM machine.

“The incident caused extensive damage to the front of the shop and to stock.

“Witnesses describe seeing four or five men at the scene with the 4x4 vehicle and a black Audi estate.”
