ACT Policing is investigating multiple overnight burglaries at businesses in Franklin, Hawker and Cook.

Police were called to the Woolworths in Franklin about 3.40am where thieves had smashed through the front doors and stolen gift cards and cigarettes.

Shortly after, police were alerted to a similar incident at Woolworths Hawker where the offenders failed to gain entry but caused damage to the store.

Police were then alerted to a ram-raid that had occurred overnight at the Cook shops.

And at about 5.45am, police received a report of a car fire at the Hawker playing fields.

ACT police are investigating.

Police believe all four incidents are linked and were carried out by three offenders.

They are on the hunt for a red Subaru Impreza and a dark green Holden Astra believed to have been used in the crime spree.

It follows two ram raids in the early hours of Monday morning at Ngunnawal IGA and Charnwood Newsagency.

Police believe a dark coloured Toyota RAV4 was used in those incidents as it was later found burnt out near Owen Dixon Drive in Spence.

Anyone who may have any information or dashcam footage that could assist police is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.
