Thieves target Co-op in 'unsuccessful' cash machine raid

Thieves have staged an "unsuccessful attack" on a cash machine at a Borders supermarket in an early morning raid.

Two vehicles involved - a tractor and a Nissan Navara pickup - were recovered at the scene following the incident at about 01:55 at the Co-op on Coldstream's High Street.

The cash machine was also found nearby and it was taken for forensic examination along with the vehicles.

A statement from the Co-op said the ATM had been targeted unsuccessfully and urged anyone with information to contact the police.

"There was incident at our Coldstream store in the early hours of this morning where there was an unsuccessful attack on the community's ATM," it said.

"We appeal for anyone with information to come forward to police, who are investigating.

"The High Street store remains temporarily closed while essential repairs are carried out, with teams working to reopen the store to serve the community as soon as possible."

It was hoped the store could reopen by Tuesday at the latest.
