Three girls have been reported in connection with an alleged robbery at a shop in Dundee.
Police launched a search operation after an incident at a premises on Albert Street on Wednesday evening.
Witnesses said five police vehicles, including a dog unit, were in the area around 8pm as part of the investigation.
One witness told The Courier police were searching a green space at nearby Dundee International Sports Centre (DISC) on Mains Loan.
