Wiltshire Police are on the hunt for two brazen burglars who smashed their way into a Corsham Co-Op using a most unusual weapon – an elephant-shaped garden ornament.

Daring Dawn Raid Shattered by Garden Elephant

Just after 4.25am on November 18, a white Audi screeched into the Martingate Co-Op car park. Two crooks jumped out and smashed a shop window with a quirky garden elephant statue before grabbing cigarettes from the till and making a quick getaway.

They fled the scene around 4.32am, heading off towards Bath Road.
