An Aberdeen branch of Lidl was robbed by thieves on the hunt for booze.
A six-foot high hole was smashed through a glass door during the raid on the King Street supermarket.
The crooks made off with alcohol worth a three-figure sum.
A spokeswoman for Lidl said: “We can confirm that the police were contacted following an incident at our Kings Street store and we are supporting them with their investigation.
“As this is now a police matter, we are unable to provide any further information at this time.”
A police spokeswoman said: “Police were called around 6.20am on Monday morning, following a report of a break-in at a supermarket on King Street, Aberdeen.
“Alcohol worth a three-figure sum was stolen. Inquiries are ongoing.”
