A popular Dundee cafe, known for its community support, has been left badly damaged after an early morning break-in.
Alcohol, money and an iPad was taken during from the family-run business.
Police have been on Exchange Street this morning (Friday) examining the premises for evidence.
Officers were spotted taking blood samples, believed to be of the suspects, from the front door.
Owner, Kelly Fairweather, has told us the individual was also caught on camera.
"I'm shaking and crying"
The Selkie posted on Facebook saying "You haven’t just taken stuff , you have taken my little safe space.
"As a family we work crazy hours, we work so hard and last night when we locked up we didn’t think that at 5:15am you would be creeping around out shop.
"So while you were crawling around stealing from us we were knackered and trying to sleep.
"But you didn’t see the security camera - probably not that important considering even if we get you nothing will happen.
"I will be posting a reward and a list of what's taken once I calm down but right now I’m shaking and crying while wondering why you think this is okay".
A Police Scotland officer has told us "enquiries are ongoing" while they probe the scene of the crime.
