The same gang is believed to have raided filling stations three times in the same night in three different counties. Details of the raids -- each of them on Total outlets -- have only just been released by police, who believe that the same thieves were responsible. The gang left such a trail of destruction behind them in the Thursday night raid at Morcott, Leicestershire, that the shop, office and forecourt had to be shut for two days. The break-in -- at around 3am -- left smashed doors and shutters. Cigarettes, CDs and £150 in cash was taken. This is the fourth time that the outlet has been raided in four years.
