Burglars have used an elephant ornament to raid a Co-op store in Corsham.
Police are investigating the incident, which happened in the early hours of Tuesday (18 November).
At around 4.25am a white Audi pulled into the car park and two people got out of the vehicle.
They used an elephant-shaped garden ornament to smash a hole in a window and gain entry to the store. The suspects searched the till area before stealing cigarettes.
It is believed they left the scene at approximately 4.32am, driving off in the direction of Bath Road.
Enquiries are ongoing, and officers are appealing for information about the distinctive garden ornament, which may have been taken from a local garden before the burglary.
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who believes the elephant shaped garden ornament may have been taken from their garden.
“We’d also like to speak to anyone who may have information in relation to the burglary.”
Anyone with information should email [email protected] quoting log number 22 of Monday 18 November.
