Detectives investigating two suspected ram raids in Sunderland have appealed to the public for information.

David Baker: They may be already doing it, perhaps the armed response police could patrol the roads during the night, also a Land Rover with armed military doing the same. A stop and search policy. You shouldn’t be on the roads during the night without good cause.

Angela Young: I’ve lived in Tyne and Wear all my life, this is not surprising to me, It’s an embarrassment. I’m sure things happen all over the country but we do seem to have some of the lowest of the low in this area. Shame for majority who are decent people.

Gordon Nicholson: It will be interesting to see what the local CCTV cameras have caught of the whole incident, they must have seen something so the police can use, also store has cctv inside.

Neil Emmerson: I'm absolutely disgusted by this who would do such a thing during this Coronaviris thing?

Shelli Major: I knew this was going to start happening! Terrifying to think what it's going to be like as time goes on.

Lesley Cheal: You can't believe how low some people will go!
