Burglars forced their way into a Bradford on Avon petrol station last night and stole a large quantity of cigarettes.

Police were called to Murco petrol station in Woolley Street at 5.50am this morning when the burglary was discovered.

The thieves are believed to have entered at the rear of the station and caused a considerable amount of damage before leaving with what is believed to be thousands of pounds worth of cigarettes.

Anyone with information about the raid is asked to contact Wiltshire Police on the 101 number.
