The ATM at McColl's in Pant, on the A483 near Oswestry, was targeted on Tuesday and let to part of the busy road being cordoned off.

It followed a call to police about the burglary at around 4.20am.

Police tape was put up at the junction with Penygarreg Lane, causing delays until the cordon was cleared midway through the morning.

The road closure caused long queues and delays on alternative routes as police attended the scene.

Officers believe a black or navy blue BMW was involved in the incident and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Anyone who saw, or captured on dash cam, the incident or a BMW being driven in the area is asked to get in touch.

They can call 101 or visit the West Mercia Police website quoting incident 42 of 6 April.
