SPONDON: Gang break in at Co-op

Police are appealing for witnesses after a gang of men broke into a Co-op in South Derbyshire and stole cigarettes.

They entered the Co-op, in Sitwell Street, at around 10.45pm last night (Tuesday, January 29), smashing through the glass front door.

Once inside, they broke open the roller shutters in front of the cigarette display and filled plastic bags with the cigarettes.

All three men wore hooded tops with the hoods up.
