It's reported that two masked men carrying weapons went into Cash Converters in Church Street yesterday morning (Wednesday 19 October), threatened staff and ran off with jewellery.
Police, who were called to the scene at around 9:45am, think the two men ran through the town centre after leaving the shop.

No injuries have been reported.
