Thieves targeted four businesses in and around Bunbury overnight in an apparent crime spree.

South West detectives are investigating possible links between the four burglaries, three of which were ramraids.

A vehicle was driven through the front glass doors of the South West Sports Centre in Withers, Bunbury.

Despite the extensive damage, parts of the centre remain open today.

A deli in Dallyelup, an outer southern suburb of Bunbury, was also targeted in a ram raid.

Further south in Stratham, a Puma service station suffered a similar fate.

Thieves drove a vehicle through the front glass sliding doors then broke into an ATM.

The fourth business hit was a Shell service station in Bunbury, where it appeared the offenders only stole water bottles.

Firefighters attended a vehicle found on fire in the Tuarts Reserve in Usher, and quickly extinguished the flames.

They believe the vehicle may be linked to the ram raids

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
