Two Tesco Express stores in Liverpool were burgled overnight by a gang who stole cash before fleeing on electric motorbikes, police believe.
The first shop, on Longmoor Lane in Fazakerley, was hit at 00:40 BST while the second, about 1.5 miles (2.4km) further up Longmoor Lane, was targeted at 02:45.
The thieves managed to get away with cash and caused damage to the doors of the first store.
In both cases Merseyside Police said four males wearing balaclavas were seen riding away on Sur Ron electric motorbikes.
Det Insp Paula Jones said her team believed the two burglaries were linked.
"I would ask anyone who was in the area of Longmoor Lane, especially taxi or delivery drivers, to check their dashcams to see if they captured anything significant," she added.
