Police car attacked after Wirral supermarket ram-raid
A police car has been attacked after a ram-raid on a Wirral supermarket.
Officers were called to the Co-Op on Manor Drive in Upton after reports of a Land Rover being driven into the store's shutters.
Merseyside Police said the 4x4, spotted close to the scene, then rammed a police car before a group of men got out and attacked it with batons.
The group escaped with money taken from a supermarket cash machine. No officers were injured during the incident.
The Land Rover was later found in nearby Church Road.
Det Insp Paul Parry said: "This was an audacious attack on a business that provides a valuable service to the local community, compounded by an attack on the officers that attended to deal with the incident."
Officers believe a dark coloured Audi was also used in the robbery.
