The front of a shop in Bradford has been destroyed after a truck was "deliberately" rammed into it.

West Yorkshire Police said officers were called to the convenience store on Mavis Street in Barkerend shortly after 21:00 BST on Wednesday.

A flatbed truck was reported to have been intentionally reversed into the building, causing serious structural damage, the force said.

No-one was injured, but police have appealed for witnesses.

A cordon remains in place at the scene while the damage is assessed and inquiries are continuing, the force added.
