Ram raiders trying to rip cash machine from shop using digger

This is the dramatic moment a gang of ram raiders used a fork-lift truck to try and steal cash machine before they smashed a police car window and made their escape.

Shocking CCTV shows the stolen vehicle being repeatedly driven into the front of the Co-op store as the would-be thieves tried to smash their way in to rob an ATM.

As police arrived seconds later, the offenders fled after smashing the windscreen of the squad car - causing cuts to the face of two officers.
