BURGLARS got away with a stash of cigarettes from a north Hampshire garage.

Police officers were called to the Texaco garage on the A339 at Kingsclere, shortly before 6.30am this morning (Wednesday, September 24) following reports of a burglary.

The raiders struck sometime after the garage closed on Tuesday night and before workers arrived to open up in the morning.

The garage is currently closed while officers investigate the incident.
