Ram-raiders used a digger to steal a cash machine from a supermarket.

The thieves abandoned the digger in the car park of the Asda in Longfield Road, Tunbridge Wells, after they targeted the store at about 03:35 BST, Kent Police said.

A burglary at a recycling centre, also on Longfield Road, is being linked to the ram-raid.

Police are asking anyone who saw a large vehicle leaving the North Farm estate to contact them.
