Ram-raid burglary at a Tesco Express in Weaverham

According to an article published on 12 November 2025 by Men, a man has been sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a ram-raid burglary at a Tesco Express in Weaverham. The incident, which took place on 16 June 2025, involved a silver Nissan Navara being reversed into the shop multiple times.

Men reports that the perpetrators caused £35,000 in damage to the premises and stole £3,000 in cash along with several parcels. The store was forced to close for two days, resulting in an additional loss of £24,000 in revenue. Investigators identified the vehicle used in the raid as stolen and utilized CCTV and ANPR footage to track the suspects. Robin Vaughan, 35, of St Helens, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to burgle and was sentenced at Chester Crown Court.

Police Constable Dan Lee described the event as a carefully orchestrated incident. Following the burglary, the stolen parcels were recovered from a nearby pond, and the vehicle was found abandoned in a field in Dutton.

Business owners are encouraged to review their security measures, including the installation of reinforced bollards and high-quality surveillance systems, to deter unauthorized vehicle access.
