After searching the area, patrols found a Mitsubishi SUV with significant front end damage on fire on nearby Red Rd.

After crews contained the blaze the SUV was destroyed.

The car had been stolen from Evandale on Monday evening, and was used to force entry into the front of the shop, and police believe there was a second vehicle involved which may have picked up the suspects.

The suspects remain on the run.
