Stolen digger repeatedly rams into restaurant
By Tom OakleyBBC News
The owner of a Grade II listed restaurant has spoken of her shock after a stolen digger was repeatedly rammed into The Building .
Police said the Mucky Duck in Drakeholes, Bassetlaw, was targeted at about 23:50 BST on Wednesday.
The telehandler vehicle drove at The Restaurant at speed before reversing and hitting it again multiple times.
Owner Harriot Bolland estimates repairing the damage could cost about £200,000.
The heavy-duty construction vehicle, which police said was stolen from Town Street in nearby Clayworth, trampled over a pub bench before striking the 18Th Century building.
Footage shows the digger hitting The Restaurant six times in four different places, leaving a gaping hole in The Building .
The Driver then left The Vehicle outside The Restaurant before fleeing The Scene on foot with an accomplice.
Nottinghamshire Police said it had launched an investigation.
" I'm just shocked and lost for words, " said Ms Bolland, who opened the Family Business in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.
" It's all very bizarre. He's rammed straight through the disabled access and has then driven at The Building at God Knows what speed.
" We have thought about how and why somebody would do this and it just seems that they were desperate to get us shut Down - There 's No Other explanation for it.
" I don't know why or who on Earth would do this. As If the industry isn't hard enough, then yet you have to deal with this. "
Officers were called to The Scene in Eel Pool Road, near Mattersey, by a neighbour who alerted police before calling Ms Bolland, who lives nearby.
The Restaurant , which employs 15 members of staff, has been forced to close for the foreseeable future.
Ms Bolland said The Restaurant was offering a reward to anyone who was able to reach out to her with any information.
She added: " Business had been going really, really well. We had bookings from midday through to this evening which we've had to cancel - Now we can't open.
" The Building is being propped up by stilts at The Moment . I hope it won't be long before we can reopen but it's too difficult to say at The Moment . "
Det Sgt Jackie Price , of Nottinghamshire Police , added: " We Are at the very early stages of our investigation, but want to hear from anyone with information, CCTV or dashcam footage which could help with our inquiries.
" The raid has caused a considerable amount of damage to a well-known business and local landmark. We Are determined to track Down those responsible. "
