In a statement, police said it appeared weapons had been used to break the glass and items inside were stolen.

Nobody had been arrested.

It is the second time the station has been targeted within a year.

Last May five masked criminals smashed their way into the station and scared a worker before stealing cash and a car.

“A group of five offenders smashed a glass door to gain entry to the store. All were concealing their face with masks,” police said at the time.
