ATM ram-raid in Markfield causes significant damage

An ATM ram-raid and robbery occurred on Chitterman Way in Markfield on 24 November 2025, causing significant damage to a store, according to Leicestermercury. The incident led to a road closure in both directions as Leicestershire Police responded to the scene.

Following the raid, officers launched a hunt for the suspects responsible. The damage inflicted on the premises during the ram-raid was substantial enough to warrant the road closure and emergency response.

Business operators should consider reinforcing ATM security measures, including barriers and protective structures around machines, and ensure robust alarm systems are in place to alert authorities promptly during an attack.
