Ram raiders rip cash machine from Worksop shop

Officers from Nottinghamshire Police were called just before 12.15am today (Friday 3 July) to the Co-Op in Plantation Hill, Worksop.

It was reported that a group of people used power tools to get into the shop, before using a chain on a silver 4x4 to drag the front of the cash machine out.

Detective Inspector Steve Wragg said: “This was clearly a pre-planned hit, which has caused a lot of disruption to a valued local business.

“Our investigation into this is well underway. We have spoken to a number of witnesses and are in the process of reviewing any CCTV which is available to us. Aanyone with information, and in particular anyone who may have seen a silver 4x4 in the area, should call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 9 of 3 July 2020.
