**Why it matters:** The incident has left the shop's owner concerned about further incidents, after he claimed one of the men involved had previously been banned from the premises for theft.

**The details:** Suffolk Police said officers were called at 5:44am to a report of a shoplifting incident at a newsagent's shop at Major's Corner. Two men were involved, and alcohol was stolen. A crime number has yet to be finalised, with a preliminary reference of CAD 33 issued.

According to the shop owner, a group of "young men" stole two bottles of alcohol from the store. He said that when he locked the doors, one of the men kicked it, causing the window to smash.

No arrests have been made.
