Police investigate ram raid at Stamford booze store
Police are appealing for dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage
Police are investigating a ram raid in Stamford which took place in the early hours of this morning.
Offiers received multiple reports from members of the public that a yellow JCB was ripping out the cash machine in the Booze 4 Less store on Stirling Street at 1.53am (13/11).
Minutes later, further reports came in that at least two people believed to have been involved had made off in a white Nissan Navara 4x4. It is unclear what direction the vehicle left in.
Police are now appealing for anyone who might have dashcam, CCTV, or doorbell footage which could help our investigation to come forward.
Anyone who was driving in the Stirling Road, Sutherland Way, Casterton Road, or Empingham Road areas is asked to check dashcam footage to see if it captured a yellow JCB or a white Nissan Navara between 1.45am and 2.15am, and share that footage with officers.
Police say they would also be keen to view footage from people travelling between Uffington and Stamford at the time.
The full cash machine was removed and taken with the offenders. It is believed that tens of thousands of pounds were stolen.
The JCB was left at the scene, and is believed to have been stolen from a farm in Uffington.
Officers were immediately deployed and carried out searches of the roads and surrounding areas but the offenders have not yet been traced.
Specialist officers and staff, including detectives and crime scene investigators, have been on the scene since the early hours and will be carrying out further enquiries in the local area in the coming days.
