RAM-raiders stole hair-dryers and bottles of perfume from a chemist shop on the edge of the New Forest today.
At least two men targeted the Ringwood branch of Boots shortly after 1.30am.
They drove a red Astra car through the front window of the store, triggering an alarm.
The theft was witnessed by a man living in a nearby flat who heard one of the raiders say: "Come on lads, we've got five minutes."
After grabbing their haul the men got back into the car and sped off. Police carried out a search of the area, but were unable to locate the vehicle.
The raiders were aged 20-30. One is described as tubby, and wearing a blue fleece top and jeans.
Staff at the shop in Southampton Road declined to comment.
Anyone with information should ring Ringwood CID on 0845 045 4545.
