Burglars smash their way into Northampton business with six-tonne tipping truck - TWICE

The first raid took place on Friday, September 13 at about 6pm when burglars gained entry to a building off Kettering Road in Moulton by using a six-tonne tipping truck.

The vehicle was used to smash open the doors of the building before the burglars made an "untidy search, " taking items from inside.

Northamptonshire Police said the firm was a building company but did not disclose its name.

Just three days later, at about 6am, the same tipping truck was used again - but this time to smash through a fence.

After making their way through the debris, the burglars forced open a shed door with the truck, taking a 'hydraulic manhole ring grab' worth £10,000.

A spokeswoman for Northamptonshire Police today (Tuesday) said that no arrests had yet been made.
