BURGLARS escaped with thousands of pounds worth of cigarettes following an overnight raid on a Trowbridge store.

Seymour Stores, in Charles Street, was broken into on Monday night with burglars targeting an in-store cash machine, before stealing £3,000 worth of stock.

Crime scene investigators were at the shop on Tuesday, while uniformed officers carried out house-to-house inquiries.

Owner Marco Sandrik, 45, said it was the 10th time he had been targeted by criminals.

"I have been ripped off so many times before and no-one has ever been caught or convicted," he said.

"On Tuesday I really just wanted to shut the door and give up, but this is my livelihood."
