Ram-Raiders' Shopping Centre Smash On CCTV

Two hooded men have been filmed ramming a stolen car into a shopping centre – then skidding through corridors so they could loot a jewellery store.

The raid, captured on CCTV, saw a Subaru Impreza career through the entrance of the Kippax Fair mall in the Australian capital, Canberra, leaving shattered glass strewn across the floor.

After unsuccessfully reversing into a cash machine twice, the robbers drove further inside and tore through the shutters of Exquisite Jewellers.

It is the third time that the shop has been ram-raided in 12 months, according to police.

They used crowbars to smash through glass displays, and three minutes later, left with their haul.

Australian detectives confirmed the robbery took place in the early hours of Monday morning and have revealed that a second shopping centre was raided in similar circumstances just a day later.

Just after 5am on Tuesday morning, another stolen Subaru was used to break into the Gungahlin Village shopping centre – and yet again, a jewellery store was the target.

Both attacks caused significant damage, and the full value of the jewellery stolen is yet to be determined.
