Car smashes into Walsall Spar in Boxing Day ram-raid

The Spar on Wolverhampton Road West, Bentley, Walsall, was targeted in the early hours of Boxing Day.

The raiders smashed through a window next to the shop entrance but are thought to have left empty-handed after not being able to get into the tills.

The shop is normally open 24 hours but was closed at the time for Christmas. It re-opened as normal yesterday, just hours after the raid, with fewer tills operating.

Around a third of the shop frontage was boarded up yesterday.
