“As part of the ongoing investigation I am also appealing for a man, who I believe was walking his dog and passed the store around the time of the offence, to come forward as he may have key information that could assist the investigation.

“A number of cars also drove past the shop at the time of the burglary so I am appealing for any motorists who were in the area between the times stated, and believe they saw anything suspicious to contact me via the non-emergency number 101.”
