The attack happened after a man forced open the main doors at the premises in Ashford Road at 12.05am on Tuesday, October 13, while staff were inside.

A second suspect then entered but both men left empty-handed as the bottles were dropped on the floor.

Officers would like to identify the person pictured in the CCTV image as he may be able to help with their investigation.
