Police spotted at Rosyth Co-op
One resident said she saw several police vans parked outside the shop at around midnight when she was returning home from work.
She said: “There were three or four police vans parked up outside the Co-op with several officers stood outside.
“I also saw officers coming from the rear of the shop.
“The door was also being inspected following what must have been a break-in.”
Another local said the store had been taped off and closed all Thursday morning.
He said: “I use the shop daily for the post office and for groceries and it’s never normally shut.
“There is tape across the door and the door latch is broken so there has certainly been some sort of forced entry by the looks of it.
“It’s a busy shop so its closure will have a significant impact on the local community.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “At around 11.58pm on Wednesday, we were called to a report of a break-in and theft at a shop on Castlandhill Road, Rosyth.
“Inquiries are ongoing and anyone with information should contact 101 quoting reference number 3947 of November 27.”
