Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police are appealing for information following a forecourt robbery that saw goods worth £5,000 stolen.
The nighttime incident took place at a Texaco liveried filling station in Whimple, a village 10 miles east of Exeter, and saw the perpetrator access the store through its roof before stealing cigarettes and other items.
A spokesman for the constabulary said: : “We are appealing for witnesses and footage following a burglary at a convenience store in Whimple, just outside of Cranbrook.
“The burglary took place on Saturday, August 29 at around 11.30pm at the Central store fuel station.
“A man wearing a full face covering and bright blue t-shirt was seen on CCTV entering the store through the roof and taking items worth around £5,000.”
Police are asking anyone who was in the area at the time to check dashcam and doorbell footage for anything that can assist them in their inquiries.
