The shop has been taped off and is under police guard this morning while crime scene investigation experts work inside.

In May, the Co-op petrol station and shop on nearby Worksop Road, Aston, was targeted by raiders who used a JCB to pull a cash machine from the exterior wall of the store.

And the McColls supermarket, just a few hundred yards away from the petrol station, has been the scene of a number of raids.

Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
