“It is also believed the same male has entered another commercial premises in the Larne Link retail site by smashing a window before making off with till drawers and a sum of money.
“We are currently investigating a number of lines of enquiry in our efforts to identify the suspect and I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or anything suspicious in the area, or to anyone with CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage that could assist our investigation, to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference number 355 of 30/08/25.”
