According to Gazettelive, a Post Office in Middlesbrough was targeted in a ram raid, with shocking CCTV footage capturing the moment thieves used a vehicle to break into the premises. The incident was reported in an article published on 28 March 2025.
Ram raids, where vehicles are deliberately driven into storefronts to create forced entry, remain a persistent threat to commercial premises, particularly post offices and retail locations that hold cash and valuable items. The availability of CCTV footage in this case underscores the importance of video surveillance in documenting such crimes and aiding investigations.
Businesses vulnerable to ram raids should assess their premises security, including bollards or barriers that prevent vehicles from approaching entrances directly, and ensure CCTV systems are in place and operational.
