On the evening of Saturday 5 September, a group of people wearing masks rushed into a dairy in Beach Haven.

The men began climbing over the counter and attempted to steal items when they were discovered and confronted by a staff member.

They immediately ran out of the shop and fled in a stolen silver 1999 Honda Accord.

Shortly afterwards, the offenders arrived at a liquor store in Forrest Hill and attempted to steal a number of items but fled when they were confronted by the store owner.

Detective Senior Sergeant Callum McNeill said police were investigating.
