Supermarket targeted by cigarette thieves

A SUPERMARKET in Woosehill was sealed off by police after it was raided in the early hours of this morning – one of two such overnight raids.

Officers from Thames Valley Police were sent to Morrisons, off the Woosehill Spine Road just after 3.10am on Thursday, February 8.

Thieves had broken into the store and headed to the cigarette booth, making off with an unknown quantity.

A cordon was put in place to allow the force to investigate, and the store closed.

The store has since reopened.

The robbers also struck at the Morrisons in Crown Row in Bracknell.

This is a smaller convenience store off the Bagshot Road that used to be a Martin’s newsagent.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “Officers are investigating a burglary which occurred at a branch of Morrisons in Woosehill, Wokingham.

“It was reported to the force at just after 3.10am on Thursday, February 8, where a quantity of cigarettes was stolen.
