The raids date back to an incident on July 20, when at around 3am, a black Jeep with four male occupants was reported to have been reversed into a disused unit at Parkgate Retail Park, Rotherham, in a ram raid-style attack, say police.
Nothing was stolen, but damage was caused to the unit.
Then, at around 3.11am, the same Jeep was reported to have reversed into a supermarket in Claypit Lane, Rawmarsh. A group of men got out of the vehicle and stole a large quantity of cigarettes and alcohol from inside the shop.
