The Northern (England) Echo: An Asda supermarket in Whinfield, Darlington, in the United Kingdom was the target of hooded thieves Sunday. In the early morning hours and as store workers were occupied by a delivery, the perpetrators used pickaxes to break into the store and then emptied the contents of the self-checkout machines.
