BURGLARS stole a large quantity of cigarettes from a petrol station in Radcliffe.

Four offenders are believed to have used a crow bar to open a metal shutter at the rear of Total Fina GB Ltd, in Turks Road, in the early hours of Friday morning.

They walked through the shop, climbed over the counter and put cigarettes into a blue bag.

A BMW saloon, part of its registration reading Y986, was then seen driving away from the forecourt. Damage worth £200 was caused to the shutter.
