Stolen car used in ram raid at Hampstead Gardens

Police are investigating after a stolen car was used to break into a Hampstead Gardens business this morning.

Just before 3am today (Friday 3 November) police were called to a second-hand store on North East Road after reports of an alarm activation.

When police arrived they found the front door had been completely smashed and damage inside the store indicating a number of items had been stolen. Police searched the building and the surrounding area however did not locate any suspects.

Police viewed CCTV of the store and identified a stolen Ford Transit van had been used to smash the front roller door to gain entry. The occupants of this vehicle were seen to enter the store for a short while, before leaving in the stolen vehicle with the stolen goods.

Police are asking anyone with information, or who may have been in the area at the time and noticed suspicious behaviour, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au
