Police are hunting for suspects after an Arsenal store was the target of a night time raid.

The Highbury store, located near the Premier League champions' Emirates Stadium, was cordoned off by tape on Friday with police cars and forensic services at the scene.

Photographs show one door hanging off his hinges and another damaged on the ground.

The Met said they believe that the shop, on Drayton Park in north London, was targeted between 3.30am and 4.30am.

Enquiries are ongoing to establish what was stolen.

The force has urged witnesses or anyone with relevant doorbell or dashcam footage to come forward.

A Met spokesperson said: "The Met is investigating a theft at the Emirates Stadium shop, Drayton Park, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, 14 August.

"We understand the concern such incidents cause to retail workers and local communities.

"Although no arrests have been made at this stage, officers are working at pace to conduct forensic examinations and gather CCTV to identify and locate those responsible."

Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 1035/14AUG, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The Standard has approached Arsenal for comment.
