Police are appealing for witnesses after thieves used a telehandler to rip a cash machine from a building in Watton.

Police are appealing for witnesses after a cash machine was ripped from a building during an early-morning raid in Watton.

The ATM on the High Street was targeted at around 4.54am on Wednesday 15 July.

Norfolk Police believe four people were involved in the incident and used a blue Nissan Navara, a red Alfa Romeo and a telehandler.

The telehandler was used to tear the cash machine from the wall before those involved left the scene.

Police have since recovered the ATM and all three vehicles believed to have been used during the raid.

A police cordon remains in place while officers continue their investigation and examine the scene.

The incident caused significant damage to the building and also led to disruption in the town centre while emergency services and investigators attended.

Officers are now appealing for anyone who witnessed the raid, saw suspicious activity in the area or has relevant dashcam footage to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Norfolk Police quoting crime reference 36/51838/26.

Police say inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the theft are continuing.
