Police are continuing to investigate a car deliberately smashing into a Farmfoods in Perth over the weekend.

The driver fled the scene after the crash at the Crieff Road supermarket at around 03.45am on Sunday.

The saloon car drove off in the direction of Fues Road.

The store has been extensively damaged as a result of the incident.

Driver may be injured

Constable Darren Stewart, Perth Police Station, said: “For whatever reason, the occupants of the car did not exit their vehicle and enter the store before driving off.

"Our concern is not only about what has happened but also for the welfare of the occupants of the car, as the impact would have been significant and they may have sustained injury.

“We believe that there were another two other vehicles, a light-coloured five-door saloon car and a small silver hatchback, with the car the suspect vehicle.

"All three cars drove off from the car park towards Fues Road.

“On checking CCTV there are a few taxis and members of the public seen driving or walking by at the time.

"I am keen to hear from them, especially if any of the taxis have dash-cam footage from the area or anyone who may have information that could assist our investigation.”
