Not the world’s most powerful car to ram-raid a supermarket – but thieves will be thieves!

Three crooks are still at large following a ram-raid at a Hamilton Woolworths in Brisbane.

A stolen Volkswagen Tiguan was used to reverse into the doors to the Woolies at the Hamilton Harbour complex on Kingsford Smith Drive.

Once the group gained access to the shop, they went straight to the cigarette drawers with a crowbar – and stole a few drawers of cigarettes.

The footage is pretty dramatic from the in-store camera – and this incident has all the hallmarks of an organised crime syndicate.

Criminal syndicates smash their way into supermarkets and retailers to flog cigarettes to sell on the black market.

Unfortunately for the store owners, they increasingly need to set up bollards and protective barriers to stop this type of raid happening.

It’s another reminder that organised criminals will stop at nothing to steal high value products, like cigarettes.
