Thieves broke into cash machines at a supermarket in Bude overnight and stole money from inside.
The thefts took place at Morrisons on Stucley Road at around 1am this morning (Thursday, April 9), Devon and Cornwall Police said.
An alarm at the store was activated, alerting police. Police say the thieves used tools to force entry to the ATMs and believe a blue car was involved in the crime.
The force is appealing for information from anyone who saw what happened or who might have seen a “suspicious” blue vehicle.
