Detectives were today linking two ram-raids by masked men at petrol stations virtually opposite each other.

The first was when a red Ford Fiesta smashed into the doors of the Texaco garage on the A127 near the Fortune-of-War roundabout on Sunday.

Officers believe it may be linked with another raid with a blue Fiesta at 2.42am yesterday at the BP garage opposite.
