One resident who witnessed the aftermath of the smash said: “Literally missed this by minutes on my way home.

“I pulled into the Co-op car park from the garage side of Cantley Lane, just as two lads crashed over the roundabout and rammed through the car park wall into bollards at the front door and ran off.

“There were two distressed women outside the shop who witnessed it all and shaken staff were calling police.
