A Tesco store was ram-raided overnight after suspects cut through metal shutters and used a motorbike to smash their way through a window.

The incident took place in the early hours of Friday, 10 May 2025, and is believed to have been a targeted burglary. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a group of individuals fleeing the scene shortly after the window was shattered.

According to early information, the suspects cut through the store’s shutters before using a motorbike as a battering ram to breach the front glass of the store. It’s not yet clear what was stolen during the raid, but damage to the storefront was described as “extensive.”
