ATM stolen in second Cambridgeshire ram raid this week

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 10:50 · Archive

An ATM was stolen from a BP petrol station in Littleport in the second Cambridgeshire ram raid within a week.

An ATM was stolen from a BP petrol station on Wisbech Road in Littleport on Friday 6 November at 5.06am. Police arrived 12 minutes after being called and found the cash machine gone and a telehandler abandoned nearby. A search of the area found no suspects.

This was the second ram raid in Cambridgeshire within a week. On Thursday 5 November at around 3am, police responded to an attempted ram raid at a Nationwide building on Ramsey Road in Whittlesey. Police have not confirmed whether the two incidents are related.

Detective Chief Inspector Chris O'Brien said patrols have been increased across the county and that ram raids are likely to occur between September and January when nights are darker. He called for public help to report suspicious activity or anything that 'might not seem quite right', noting that 'one call could make all the difference'. Police are asking anyone with information, dashcam or video doorbell footage to come forward and are reminding the public to ensure vehicles have working trackers, particularly high-performance cars and heavy vehicles such as transits and flatbeds that could be used in similar crimes.
