A vape shop was ram-raided twice on consecutive nights in Cambridge last week.

Glass broken after the first ram raid.

The Vape Shed, on the corner of Duke and Anzac streets, was hit early on Thursday and Friday mornings.

Police say offenders fled the scene in the first instance after gaining access to the premises by breaking the glass entry with a vehicle.

About 4.45am the next day, police say a vehicle was “likely” used  to break down the wood used to repair the entry.

Police say their inquiries are ongoing and include determining whether the incidents were linked.

Not again! The wood was broken at the entry in the second instance.
