Ramraiders have struck for the second time in five days at a Rayleigh off-licence.

Four youngsters, aged about 16, drove a car into the front window of the shop in The Chase, before grabbing cigarettes and making off in another vehicle at around 3.30am.

The raid comes just days after more than £1,000 worth of cigarettes were looted from the same premises last Friday.
