New CCTV images have been issued showing a gang of crooks using power tools on a cash machine before ripping it out of a shop during a ram raid in Worksop.

Officers from Nottinghamshire Police were called at just before 12.15am on July 3 to the Co-Op on Plantation Hill, Worksop.

It was reported that a group of people used power tools in order to weaken the walls around the cash machine, before linking a chain to a silver 4x4 to help drag the front of the cash machine out.
