AN ATTEMPTED robbery took place at Cam Co-op around 2.20am on Tuesday when four males, all with their heads covered by hoods and balaclavas, forced the doors open.

Two unsuccessfully tried to steal cigarettes, while the others waited.

The first male was wearing dark jacket and fawn trousers, the second a dark top and dark trousers, the third a dark jacket with three white strips on the sleeve and the fourth a dark jacket and dark trousers.

It is believed they drove off in a silver-coloured sporty-looking car.
