The supermarket branch, in London Road, Southborough, was cordoned off following the theft on Friday, August 7.

It is believed the raid happened sometime during the night. The suspects gained entry to the store by creating a large hole in the wall.

It was reported to police shortly after 5am.

A Kent Police spokesman said a large quantity of cigarettes and tobacco products were stolen and officers are continuing to make inquiries.
