During that incident, the offender stole goods and then threatened staff with a knife when challenged.
The next day, Sunday, March 13, a similar incident was reported a short distance away at a food store at Shield Retail Centre at about 8.50pm.
Nobody was injured in either incident.
The man the force are looking for is described as approximately 30 years of age, about 5ft 8ins and has short dark hair and a beard.
He is seen wearing a black jacket and grey trousers and carrying an orange bag. It is understood he used a black bike to travel to and from the store.
