A quiet town on the outskirts of Dundee was rocked again following a suspected knife-point raid on a newsagents – the third in 12 months.

The Scotmid Co-operative store on Invergowrie’s Main Street was targeted in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon.

It is understood a man approached staff “with a knife” shortly after 2.30pm.

None of the staff members were hurt during the ordeal, but are understood to have been left shaken as a result of the attack.

Police were spotted racing to the scene from as far away as Dundee city centre, with a number of vehicles travelling under blue lights on Roseangle shortly after the call was made.

Police cars were also seen travelling to the village from the Perth to Dundee carriageway of the A90.

One resident reported seeing police sniffer dogs in the area close to the shop.

Another resident at the scene, who declined to be named, said: “People across the village are saying there was a knife point robbery.

“The store was closed from the afternoon on-wards, which is a shame because I really wanted to pick up my Sunday Post.

“I hope everyone was ok.

“This is now the third or fourth time this shop has been targeted recently, I really feel bad for the staff.”

In October last year, the same shop was targeted by callous crooks twice within the space of a week.

The front door window pane and a glass shop-front were both smashed by intruders.

Two teenagers were charged the following January for the break-in and thefts from the Main Street store and a number of others.

Due to the ages of the teens – 16 and 17 – their names can not be revealed.

A police spokesperson said the incident was “ongoing”.
