The Premier B Mart Convenience Store on Stafford Street in Willenhall was subject to the attempted ram raid in the early hours of Tuesday morning, with the assailants driving into the front door.
However, the owner of the shop, who didn't want to be named, confirmed that the shop was left with limited damage after the alarm system activated, filling the shop full of smoke and forcing the assailants to flee the scene.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "We're investigating after an attempted burglary at a store in Stafford Street, Willenhall at just after 3.15am yesterday (Tuesday).
