Police were called to the shop in Thornhill Road at approximately 12.40am this morning (6/11) following an alarm activation at the location.
When police attended the scene, offenders were seen to the rear of the store – they threatened officers and caused damage to a police vehicle before making off at speed in a black Audi towards Masefield Road.
A pursuit was authorised however the vehicle was lost to sight.
Enquiries are currently ongoing to determine what, if anything, was stolen from the store.
