Burglars armed with axe smash their way into supermarket but fail to open tills
Police are hoping to track down three bungling burglars after they smashed their way into a Cannock supermarket but left empty handed after being unable to open the cash registers.
Police were called at 10pm on Thursday to Orbital Retail Park after an alarm went off as three masked men had arrived in a vehicle and broke into the premises.
One of them was carrying an axe. The offenders attempted to open tills with the weapon but were unsuccessful and left empty-handed.
Police are currently reviewing CCTV footage at the scene and are keen to speak to any witnesses or those who may have footage of the incident.
