Earlier: A RAM raid has been committed at Hamilton's C&J Engineering early Sunday morning.
Hamilton police Sergeant David Walkley said a vehicle was used to reverse into the front glass doors of the Coleraine Road business at 5am.
"Multiple offenders then entered the building but it is yet to be confirmed what has been stolen," he said.
"Forensic officers are on the way to process the crime scene and detectives will also be conducting investigations this morning."
