A member of staff at a Dumbarton shop has been left “deeply upset” after a group of hooded teens raided a petrol station for alcohol.
Police are appealing for information following the incident on January 12, at around 4.30pm after a quantity of alcohol was stolen from a petrol station on Glasgow Road. A member of staff was also threatened during the incident.
The group is believed to be between the ages of 15 and 18.
The first male is described as wearing a dark hooded top, black trousers and white trainers.
The female has long dark hair, past her shoulders. She was wearing a black dress, black tights, converse trainers and a dark grey jacket.
The second male was wearing a dark grey bubble style jacket, black jogging trousers with a stripe down the sides and black trainers. The third male was wearing a black hooded top with a Nike logo, black trousers and white trainers.
The fourth male was wearing black skinny jeans, black trainers and a blue ‘Represent’ hooded top. A further male was dressed in dark clothing.
All the males involved either had their hoods up or were wearing snoods. After the raid, the group made off in an unknown direction.
Officers are carrying out extensive enquiries, including checking CCTV, and are asking members of the public who saw anything to reach out.
Detective Constable Jack Muir said: “I am aware that incidents like this will cause concern in the local community, however I would like to reassure the public that we are carrying out extensive enquiries to trace those involved.

“The staff member was not injured but they have been left deeply upset by what has happened.
“I would urge anyone with information to get in touch with us. Also, if you have dashcam footage or private CCTV from the area, please check it as you may have information which could assist.”
