Bewiched Coffee Shop Targeted by Masked Intruders Armed with Sledgehammer

A branch of the popular regional chain Bewiched Coffee was the target of a violent attempted raid by three masked individuals. The perpetrators, who were armed with a heavy sledgehammer and a metal pole, attempted to force entry into the premises in Northampton, causing extensive damage to the shopfront.

The alarm system was triggered during the incident, which appears to have disrupted the suspects before they could access the main safe or complete the theft. Police investigators are reviewing security footage from the venue and surrounding businesses to identify the three masked suspects, who fled the scene shortly after the attempt.
