That attempt failed too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest makapaka   #3 Posted February 8, 2019 I saw the temporary wooden doors - presumed they were just being replaced -where did you hear about a ram raid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bendix   10 #5 Posted February 8, 2019 Imagine ram raiding an Asda. If you're going to ram raid a supermarket, at least make sure it's half decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Top Cats Hat   10 #8 Posted February 8, 2019 I'd imagine that ram raiding a 'low rent' supermarket like ASDA or Tescos would be a bit like Supermarket Sweep where you have a limited amount of time to grab as many high value items as possible (remembering that a joint of beef is more valuable than an equivalent sized bottle of whisky!)  😂😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bluecanary   13 #10 Posted February 8, 2019 The incident was actually Wednesday night/early Thursday and the store was shut for most of the day yesterday.  Would have thought there were more lucrative places to target, to be honest!
