At 7.40pm on December 15 2024, it is reported that two men entered the Top Shop store on Highthorn Road.

One of the men is alleged to have stolen a quantity of cash and cigarettes from the store whilst the other man reportedly threatened a man with a knife.

Officers immediately launched an investigation into the incident and have been carrying out local enquiries, and reviewing CCTV footage available.
