Anderson said police are reviewing CCTV and conducting a scene examination this morning to establish the extent of the damage and what was taken.

The owner told the Herald the offenders were wearing face coverings and the incident lasted around a minute.

This was the first time his shop had been targeted but multiple other stores along the road remain boarded up after recent ram raids.

"I don't think they got anything," he said.

"I think they were looking for phones maybe?... I'm a repair shop - I don't have phones."

Anyone who has any information, which could assist police in their enquiries is asked to contact them on 105, quoting the file number 220926/7962.
