He said: “There wasn’t much money in the till but the charity pot for the foodbank was stolen, who does that?

“I’ll need a new till and new window but for me the main damage is a day’s trading.”

John said he hopes to reopen tomorrow.

Police confirmed officers were called in the early hours of this morning and asked anyone who may have information to call 101 quoting serial 121 of 11/10.
