Detective Inspector Daren Hankin said: “Although no items were taken this is still a serious crime that has caused considerable damage to the store’s premises.

“Business thefts are not a victimless crime and have a huge impact on the store, shoppers and staff who are just doing their job. We are determined to find the offenders to prevent these crimes from taking place and ensure other stores are not targeted in our community.

“If you were driving on Seaview Road in the early hours of Tuesday morning and saw anything suspicious or have any CCTV or dashcam footage please check your systems and contact police if you have any information that could help our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact @MerPolCC or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 with reference 22000783843
