A CHRISTCHURCH business was targeted by burglars who stole cash and a till from the premises.

CCTV footage shows the moment Ambrow Trailer Services’ till, containing £300 in cash, was placed into a car and driven away from the shop at 6am on Tuesday morning.

Andy Brown, who owns the business in Barrack Road, arrived at the shop after receiving a call from the alarm company to say it had been activated. Although he arrived within fifteen minutes, he said he was too late.

“The back door had been smashed in. One of the tills had been taken, the other one had been smashed and had some change taken from it", he said.

The car pictured in the footage is a dark blue Saab.

“I’ve since found out that the number plates on the car are stolen,” Andy said.

“Forensics were at the shop this morning. It was lucky that none of the stock from the shop was taken.”

Dorset Police are investigating the incident.
