Cash machine stolen in Co-op ram-raid in Whetstone

A cash machine was stolen during a ram-raid at a Co-op supermarket in Whetstone, Leicestershire, according to BBC reports. The burglary involved a vehicle being driven into the store to force entry. During their escape, the suspects deliberately hit a police car that had arrived at the scene, leading to an attempted murder charge. One man was subsequently arrested and later bailed, BBC reports. The investigation is ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the incident and identify any other individuals involved.

Supermarkets and small businesses should consider reinforcing entrances, installing bollards or barriers to prevent vehicles being used as battering rams, and ensuring alarm systems are properly monitored and maintained.
