Northern Beaches Police are seeking public assistance following an alleged theft at a Condamine Street liquor store on Friday afternoon.
Officers from Northern Beaches Police Area Command responded to a duress alarm at the Dan Murphy’s outlet in Manly Vale at approximately 3.15pm on 13 February. Emergency services received multiple Triple Zero calls at the time, with reports indicating that staff members had been threatened during the incident.
According to police, three young men entered the premises and removed several bottles of alcohol from shelving before allegedly departing without making payment. All three individuals were wearing black hoodies and track pants at the time.
The incident may be connected to a traffic collision that occurred nearby at around the same time. A two-vehicle crash was reported outside the KFC restaurant near the intersection of Kenneth Road and Condamine Street, with one vehicle reportedly leaving the scene. Police have not confirmed whether the incidents are related but are investigating both matters.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported in either incident.
Detectives are now appealing to the community for information. Anyone who may be able to identify the three individuals, or who has dashcam footage from the Condamine Street area between 3pm and 3.30pm on Friday, is urged to contact Dee Why Police Station on 02 9971 3399 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Information can be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
