At around 3.20am today, Thursday September 29, a JCB tractor was used in an attempt to remove the ATM from the wall of the Co Op store in the Market Place.

The attempt was unsuccessful and the offenders left the scene in a dark 4x4 flat bed vehicle and a dark blue saloon car.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Spalding CID on 101, quoting incident number 27 of 29th September.

Police remain at the scene and the shop is closed.

It follows a number of similar ram raids across the region including one in Cambridgeshire earlier this week.
