Bank targeted in attempted ram-raid for second time

Summarised from BBC Cambridgeshire's report · Updated 5 Nov, 12:55 · Archive

A Nationwide branch in Whittlesey was targeted in an attempted ram-raid early on Thursday.

Police were called to the Nationwide branch in High Causeway, Whittlesey, at about 03:00 GMT after it was targeted in an attempted ram-raid. Suspects fled the scene before officers arrived and nothing was taken, Cambridgeshire Police said. An abandoned yellow telehandler was found cordoned off at the road junction outside the branch.

This is the second time the branch has been targeted in three years. In October 2023, ram-raiders used a digger and a pick-up truck to steal money from the same location. Police have raised crimes for theft of a vehicle and criminal damage, with investigations ongoing.

Authorities are appealing for anyone with information, dashcam footage or CCTV footage to contact them.
