Shocking CCTV shows thieves drive a Land Rover into the front of an Aldi store before taking a cash machine in a violent ram raid.

The footage shows the vehicle backed into the Cambridgeshire supermarket twice, causing debris to fall, before a group of men are seen apparently loading the ATM into a dark Volkswagen Golf and then fleeing the scene.

The ram raid at the store in Bridge Street, Chatteris, happened at around 3.50am on Monday, police said.

Officers stepped up patrols in the area and "at other vulnerable locations," Detective Sergeant Mark Plitsch said as he urged people to report any suspicious activity around cash machines.

The incident took place on Monday

He added: "I'd appeal to anyone who has information about this incident to get in touch as a matter of urgency.

"In addition to tracing the Volkswagen Golf, we would like to speak to the driver of a light-coloured hatchback seen to be circling the A141 Slade End roundabout at the time of the offence to eliminate them from our inquiries."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police anonymously on 101.
