Crowland and Long Sutton Co-ops ram-raided last night

An investigation has been launched after two South Holland stores were targeted by ram raiders last night (Tuesday).

A green Land Rover was driven into the Lincolnshire Co-op store in Crowland and the Long Sutton store was also targeted.

A spokesman for Lincolnshire Coop said:"We use guidance from the police, cash machine providers and security experts to ensure we are following the latest procedures and we have numerous security measures in place in our stores.

“We’ll be working with Lincolnshire Police on their investigations and will aim to get both stores back open as soon as possible.”

This is not the first time that the Crowland store was been hit.

In April 2019 a Mitsubishi 4x4 and fork lift were used to ram-raid the store in the early hours of the morning.
