Brazen Early Morning Burglaries Hit Two Shops in Wiltshire
At the crack of dawn, four masked men smashed their way into the Co-Op in The Borough, Downton, at 3.40am. Armed with a sledgehammer, they stole tills and a haul of cigarettes before speeding off in a stolen black Audi Q7.
Less than an hour later, the same gang struck again at the BP Service Station in Landford. Using crowbars, they forced open the doors and made off with more cigarettes, another till, and other goods.
Thieves Dressed for the Job
- All suspects described as stocky and wearing dark clothes
- Balaclavas and face coverings concealed their identities
- Escape vehicle: Stolen black Audi Q7, a distinctive sight on quiet roads early morning
Police Appeal for Witnesses and Dashcam Footage
DC Ben Brewster: “We want to hear from anyone who spotted the black Audi Q7 around the time of the raids. The roads would’ve been quiet, so that car may have stood out. Any dashcam footage or eyewitness information could be crucial.
