Ram-raiders stole £30,000 from a cash machine at a Co-op supermarket in Cambridge, according to the BBC. The incident, reported on 10 September 2025, saw the attackers use a vehicle to force entry and access the ATM.
This type of ram-raid — a rapid smash-and-grab using a vehicle as a battering tool — targets high-value assets like cash machines and retail inventory. Supermarkets and convenience stores remain frequent targets due to their accessible cash reserves and stock of high-value goods.
For businesses operating retail or supermarket operations, installation of robust physical barriers, reinforced glass, bollards, and prominent security camera systems can deter ram-raids and limit the financial impact of such incidents.
