Bedfordshire Police is appealing for information following the ram raid in Henlow

A convenience store has been targeted by ram raiders who used a pickup truck to remove an ATM machine - before leaving the vehicle behind.

Officers were called just before 02:10 BST on Wednesday to a report of a Mitsubishi truck driving into the front of the store in Hitchin Road, Henlow.

Bedfordshire Police said the suspects then left in a blue BMW estate car, in convoy with a second vehicle believed to be either a VW Golf or an Audi hatchback.

Det Con Suzanne Chappel said: "We are appealing to members of the public for any information, CCTV or doorbell footage that could help our investigation into this incident."

She added: "We are continuing to carry out inquiries but would urge anyone with information to get in touch with us."
