RAM-raiders stole hundreds of pounds worth of designer clothing in smash-and-grab raid in Whiteley last night.

A four-by-four Izuzo-style car was used to smash the front display windows of Proibito at Whiteley shopping outlet.

Security staff caught the raiders on CCTV gearing up for the raid at 9pm.

Less than ten minutes later the pale-coloured off-roader had rammed the front of the shop before raiders stole the stock.

A police spokesman said: "We were alerted to the outlet village by security staff who witnessed the raid on camera.

"We do not know the exact amount stole but CID will be conducting a thorough investigation later today.''
