Police are appealing for information after thieves broke into the Co-op in Kingussie in the early hours of this morning and stole a four-figure sum of cash.
The incident occurred at around 1.45am at the store on the High Street.
Two male youths broke into the premises and took two cash boxes.
The suspects, described as being of average height and slim build, made off east along High Street in the direction of the A9.
Detective Inspector Andy Bilton said: “We are appealing for anyone who was in the area of High Street in the early hours of Saturday morning and may have seen or heard anything suspicious to please get in touch.
“We would also urge anyone with private CCTV or dash-cam footage to please check in case they have captured something which could be of significance to our enquiries.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference CR160380/24. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
A source told the Strathy: “The town’s Co-op was broken into this morning but no-one was hurt.
“Poilce have been checking the store’s CCTV.”
The store was contacted for more details but declined to comment and referred the Strathy to their head office.
