He ran away and on inspection the officers confirmed there had been a forced entry into ‘Redz Bar’. A small quantity of cash had been stolen, police say.

It is believed the same man returned to the scene at around 4.15am and stole some bottles of champagne.

PC Luke Farley said: “The man pictured in the image could hold some vital information about the break-in and so we would very much like to speak with him.
