A robbery at a grocery store in Thornleigh, which was previously part of the Friendly Grocer chain, was reported to police at 7.10am on Sunday.
The store is located in a building on the corner of Larool Crescent and Sefton Rd and was recently sold to new owners, according to reports from members of the community.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said detectives arrived at the scene of the robbery at 11.30am on Sunday and canvassed the area.
It’s been confirmed the property was broken into through the roller door by unknown means. The door was locked at the time.
A number of items were stolen including cash, groceries and cigarettes but no staff members were present.

Residents were alarmed to the incident on a Facebook group, which also called for people to come forward and speak to police if they have any information.
“Any info would be greatly appreciated. They have just taken ownership of the store and are obviously so upset that this has happened,” the Facebook post reads.
“They are open today, if you have any info or saw anything, please head over and let them know. I’m not affiliated with them, just want to put the call out to see if we can help them out!”
