Car Crashes Into Co-op Before Occupants Storm In

Officers rushed to the scene at around 5am this Saturday (19 March) after reports of a car smashing into a Co-op store door. The collision caused damage to the building, and some of the vehicle’s occupants then barged inside the shop.

Police Launch Appeal for Witnesses

District Commander Ian Hughes urged anyone who spotted suspicious activity in the area to come forward. He said: “Perhaps you have dashcam footage of a car acting suspiciously at the time? We would particularly like to hear from anyone who saw a red Mini in the area.”
