A cash machine containing about £30,000 has been stolen from a Co-op during a ram-raid.

A black Mitsubishi L200 had been driven into the front of the shop and five people left the scene in a hatchback with the cash machine, Cambridgeshire Police said.

No arrests had been made, but the force said an inquiry was ongoing and officers appealed for more information.
