North Yorkshire Police are investigating a commercial burglary on Gillygate in York.
It occurred at Sore Thumb Retro Game shop at 05.45am on Friday 16 February 2024. Entry was gained to the premises by smashing a window at the front of the shop.
Officers arrived at the scene within 15 minutes of the report, but the suspects had fled. It’s believed they may have been disturbed during the incident.
The Fire Service also attended as a precaution as smoke was seen inside the premises.
An investigation is underway, and a cordon currently remains in place at the store to allow forensic examination work to take place.
