A cash machine has been stolen from a Co-op convenience store in a ram-raid in Cambridge on Wednesday (Sept 10).

Police were called to the store, in Perne Road, at about 12.36 am in the night with reports a black Mitsubishi L200 had driven into the front of the shop.


Moments later five people left the scene in a hatchback with the cash machine containing around £30, 000.

No arrests have been made but an investigation is ongoing and Cambridgeshire Police has raised an appeal for information, video doorbell or dashcam footage of the vehicles, or anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area.

Meanwhile, one side of the store, where the cash machines was installed, is completely damaged. The store remains closed and the next nearest store is about 8 miles away.

Earlier in June, a cash machine was ripped out of a Co-op store in Devon.

Three men using a Land Rover to batter down a Co-op shop front were thought to have been involved in one raid at Younghayes Road, Cranbrook, said the Devon and Cornwall force.

Police said there was another attempted raid at a Co-op store in Buddle Lane, Exeter, at about 03:40 BST involving two dark-coloured vehicles believed to be a 4x4 and a BMW, which left the scene.

It is thought the men in the Cranbrook raid left the scene in a different black car, possibly an Audi or a Mercedes, which may have had false number plates.

The store had to remain closed for two days.
