POLICE are investigating the overnight burglary of Super Value Baillou Hill Road, where assailants stacked trollies to escape the store through a hole cut into the roof.

A video of the incident's aftermath went viral across social media yesterday, garnering hundreds of responses and reactions.

According to police, officers responded to an alarm activation at the store shortly after 1am, where they discovered the culprits had cut a hole into the store's roof, before lowering themselves into the establishment using ropes.

Police said the assailants searched the store, before stacking several dozen shopping carts together for use as a ladder. The makeshift contraption allowed the assailants a way back into the roof, where they made good their escape.

When contacted by The Tribune yesterday, the chain's operations manager, Kendrick Moss, declined to comment on the incident, insisting the matter was under "a formal police investigation."

Up to press time, police said it was "unknown" what was taken from the store.

Investigations are ongoing.

Anyone with information about this incident or any other crime is asked to call police at 919, 502-9991 or the Crime Stoppers hotline at 328-TIPS (8477).
