Money was taken from a cash machine outside a supermarket after it was destroyed by thieves, police said.

Officers were called to the Co-op store in Linden Drive, Lutterworth, Leicestershire, at about 02:45 BST.

Leicestershire Police said an unknown quantity of cash had been taken from the wrecked machine.

"The supermarket is in a residential area and I believe there are people who will have seen or heard what happened," said Det Con Chris Symmonds.

"I am particularly keen to speak to anyone living nearby who has a CCTV or doorbell camera at their address."
