Police in West Kilbride are hunting for two suspects alleged to have robbed the Co-op store in the village.

At around 4pm on April 2, the suspects entered the store in Ritchie Street separately but appeared to be together.

West Kilbride Community Council was told that one of the suspects approached a staff member and took them to the alcohol section in an apparent attempt to distract them.

Whilst the staff member was engaged, the other suspect is said to have made their way along the chilled section and removes various items from display and put them into a basket.

The pair then made their way to the exit where they are said to have taken the items from the basket and concealed them within their bag.

They are claimed to have then exited the shop without making payment. Enquires are ongoing to trace the suspects.
