POLICE are investigating after a four-figure sum of money was stolen from a Highland shop in the early hours of Saturday morning.
It is understood two male youths broke into the Co-op store on the Kingussie high street at around 1.45am, stealing two cash boxes containing thousands.
The suspects are described as being of average height and slim build. They made off east along High Street in the direction of the A9.
Detective Inspector Andy Bilton said: “We are appealing for anyone who was in the area of High Street in the early hours of Saturday morning and may have seen or heard anything suspicious to please get in touch.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference CR160380/24.
“Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
