Police are probing an attempted raid on a jewellers shop in Moffat.
The alarm was triggered at the Gemini store on the town's High Street shortly before 2230 GMT on Monday.
Police said a dark blue saloon car - possibly a Audi or Volkswagen - was spotted leaving the scene moments later.
The car's registration plate started with SA09. A description of a man who was a passenger in the car has also been released.
He was said to be white, between 20 and 30 years old, clean shaven with short, dark hair.
