POLICE continue to investigate how a garden machinery shop in Merley was ram-raided on Monday night.
Brazen thieves targeted Ashington Garden Machinery, at Queen Anne Drive, just after 10pm.
Four men used bolt cutters to unlock the gates and then reversed into the shop unit before stealing between 15-20 pieces of high-value gardening equipment.
Chainsaws and hedge trimmers valued between £200-£800 were stolen during the raid.
A spokesman for Dorset Police was unable to confirm if anyone had been arrested in connection with the burglary as officers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
