Detectives are investigating after an ‘unknown person’ stole cash from an Inverness tyre shop.

The thief broke in through the back door of Kwik Fit, on Millburn Road, before stealing a quantity of cash.

It is not clear what time the person entered the shop, though officers say the robbery took place between 7.20pm on Sunday and 7.50pm on Monday.

They are now urging for anyone who may have heard or saw anything suspicious in the area to come forward.

The exact amount of cash taken from the Millburn Road shop has not been confirmed.

A Kwik Fit worker told the P&J: “They just stole cash.

“I can’t tell you how much because the auditors are looking into it now.

“They stole cash but we have 500 tyres here and they didn’t steal a single tyre.”
