| Stock photo of Audi crashed through shop window. |
A high-powered Audi ploughed into the window of the Halliton MiniMart in Halliton High Street this afternoon, causing an extensive amount of damage to the shop and leading to the closure of the road.
Police attended the scene and arrested the driver of the vehicle, who was breathalysed and found to have 140 milligrams of alcohol in 100 ml of breath - four times the legal limit. A female passenger was also arrested after attempting to bite a police officer and had to be restrained using a spit hood.
Both have been remanded in custody.
Owner Sandeep Patel said "It's a miracle no-one was hurt. The car just slammed through the window at quite some speed, just missing my wife. I thought a bomb had gone off. I recognised the driver and his passenger as they had bought quite a bit of alcohol and some snacks earlier in the afternoon. We tried to help them out of the car but the woman was fighting mad and was shouting and swearing. Fortunately the police turned up quite quickly and took them into custody."
"We've got the window boarded up and hopefully we'll be able to open up tomorrow."
The road has since reopened.
