Cash machine stolen in Morrisons ram-raid

Local people called the ram-raid a "disgusting act" that had left a huge mess

A cash machine has been stolen following a ram-raid incident which has destroyed a convenience store's front shutter.

Cambridgeshire Police were called at 02:50 BST about the raid at Morrisons on Gunthorpe Road, Peterborough.

A spokesperson said "suspects made off with a cash machine" and no arrests had been made yet.

Officers and a forensics team remained at the scene with a police tape around the building - which also has a separate hair salon which has remained open for business.

Members of the public walking along the road told the BBC it was a "disgusting act" and a "huge mess".

Police have closed Gunthrope Road towards Newborough - just off the Paston Parkway - as part of the same investigation.

Morrisons said it is assisting police with the investigation but did not wish to comment any further.

Anyone with information has been asked to contact the police.
