Police are appealing for witnesses to a burglary in Rickinghall, which saw a large amount of cigarettes stolen.

It happened at the Co-Op on the Street, some time between 1am and 3am on Thursday (18th May).

Officers believe three people are involved - they broke into the store via a back door, damaging shutters in the store too.

Police say all were wearing dark clothing, one had a light coloured backpack and wore a white face covering; a second wore a light coloured hood and was carrying a crowbar and wore a mask and the third wore a camouflage design hood and a white face covering.

All three appeared to be carrying bed sheets or duvet covers to make off with the stolen property.
