Harefield residents where shocked to find the local Co-op food store utterly destroyed this morning, after a late night break in where thieves targeted the in store cash machine.
The Co-op store was left destroyed following the ram raid targeting a cashpoint machine at the Co-Op store in Harefield earlier today.
It's believed thieves used a stolen red land rover, which was left at the scene.
Police were called to the incident at the Park Lane shop (Harefield High Street) at around 1.24am this morning (June 4th).
An eyewitness told us what happened "We where in bed [witness and partner] and there was a large bang, our windows shook and we weren't sure what was going on. I could hear an alarm sound and looked outside and saw a red car crashing into the shop below. It was an unexpected and scary experience. We haven't slept since and are very tired"
A video shared with Hillingdon vision shows some of the terrifying incident as it unfolded.
