Alarms were raised and centre management made it clear an emergency was on-going through the tannoy.

A spokesperson from Ayr Central said:
"A precautionary evacuation was undertaken this morning the fire service attended & quickly found the source of smoke: a petrol leak in a customer's car, which has now been removed.
"Thanks to all our customers for your patience. #Safety is always our priority. The Centre is open as normal now."
