Footage sent to our newsroom shows four people kicking the front of Suraj Parkash Sund's Stirling Sports on Thursday night before fleeing.
Area Commander Inspector Wade Jennings says four youths and a 20-year-old man were involved, who were arrested after their getaway vehicle was spotted.
The store had also been hit last April, and in January this year with burglars taking about ten-thousand dollars in stock.
Sund says he's now sleeping in his store over fears it will happen again.
