Police investigating a late-night break-in at a Perth Co-op have issued descriptions of three men on bikes who stole a four-figure sum of cash.
Police were called to the scene on Darnhall Drive at around 11.40pm on Wednesday.
The shop was taped off for a time on Thursday morning.
A neighbour reported seeing three men fleeing the area on bikes at around 11.30pm after the shop’s alarm sounded.
He told The Courier: “This happened at about 11.30pm. I heard some noised (and) I thought I’d have a look.
“There were three guys who took off on bikes. They weren’t pedalling so I assume they were electric bikes.
“One guy was keeping watch and the two others were doing something.
“I’ve no idea what they were taking or what they were after.”
Police hunt for three men on bikes
Detective Sergeant Sean McCabe said: “We are keen to trace three men who were seen in the area on scramblers or E-bikes.
“One is described as being of large build, wearing a black beanie-style hat with white logo, black balaclava, a black hooded top with ‘Columbia’ printed in the middle, black trousers and yellow/black gloves.
“The second man is of slim build wearing a navy hat, thin black puffer-style jacket, black gloves and black trousers.
“There is no description of the third man.
“We would appeal to anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage from the areas of Queen Street, Glenlochay Road, Buckies Braes, Craigie Knowes Road around the time the break-in took place.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting 4007 of Wednesday March 1.
A spokesman for the Co-op said: “There was an incident at our Darnhall Drive store just before midnight on Wednesday when three intruders entered the store.
“We appeal to anyone who may have seen or heard anything to come forward to Police, who are investigating.
“The store has reopened to serve the community.”
