Overnight on 27 and 28 November 2017, police were called to an alarm at the Shearwater IGA supermarket.  Police and a private security company attended and observed damage to a window at the front of the supermarket.  The ATM attached to the supermarket was damaged along with an ATM belonging to Bendigo Bank.
