Ram raiders initially smashed into wrong shop before stealing haul of extra small clothing

Their plan was to reverse a car into upmarket clothes shop Garment Quarter in Cabot Circus, Bristol, and make off with handfuls of designer gear.



But a gang of ram raiders got their bearings wrong and smashed the car through the window of the Kuoni travel agent next door. Undeterred, the raiders eventually careered in to the right shop and made off with £20,000 worth of designer goods. But what the bungling burglars did not release is that all the clothes were size extra small.



The clothes shop only puts out its smallest sizes and so only the most petite ladies will be able to get into the garments. Staff at Kuoni said nothing was taken and that the burglars had made a mistake reversing into their store. Derek Jones, Kuoni managing director, said: "It's a case of the thieves who should have gone to Specsavers as they reversed into the wrong shop."



The raid happened in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Police are looking for three men who are thought to have carried out the burglary. They said a white Jaguar car was reversed into the shop fronts at around 2am, leaving shattered glass across the street. The car, which is thought to be stolen, then made off.
