PEOPLE at a service station got a shock when ram raiders crashed a stolen car through the doors.
Two men in a Land Rover Discovery targeted the Road Chef services on the A1(M) at Bowburn, near Durham City, as a handful of customers in the Little Chef restaurant looked on.
They then reversed the stolen car into three free-standing cash point machines in the foyer before fleeing empty-handed in a second vehicle waiting outside.
Police were called at about 2.45am on Wednesday.They would like anyone who can help the inquiry or who was passing the services at the time to call 0845 6060 365 and ask for Durham CID.
