Ram-raiders have torn a cash machine from a rural petrol station, making it the third incident of its kind in Cambridgeshire in a week.

Debris was left strewn over the garage forecourt in Littleport, near Ely, after a construction vehicle smashed a huge hole into the side of the building.

Cambridgeshire Police said it was called at 05:00 GMT on Friday.

A spokesperson said the "ATM was missing from the store" and a "telehandler used was left at the scene".

On Monday, the front entrance of a Co-op in central Cambridge was badly damaged in an attempted ram-raid.

Two days later, police were called to Nationwide in Whittlesey after another attempted ram-raid.

The force is appealing for anyone with information, dashcam or CCTV footage in relation to any of the incidents to get in touch.
