Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and detectives are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Constable Chris Symmonds, from the CIT, said: “The supermarket is in a residential area and I believe there are people who will have seen or heard what happened.

“I am particularly keen to speak to anyone living nearby who has a CCTV or doorbell camera at their address.

“I would also ask anyone who saw or heard anyone or any people acting in a manner that seemed unusual or suspicious to come forward. Any details you’re able to provide could help our investigation.”
