A garage has been badly damaged by thieves who used a digger to steal a cash machine.

Police were called to the Shell garage on the A299 never Faversham, Kent, at 01:50 GMT on Monday.

Detectives have linked the crime to an unsuccessful attempt to steal a cash machine from a supermarket in Dymchurch on Sunday.

Kent Police said the stolen machine was loaded onto a grey flatbed Ford Transit.

The van reportedly left the scene in convoy with a dark-coloured Mitsubishi Shogun, police added.
