Newark police officers are appealing for witnesses after a business was ransacked over the weekend.
A town centre café’s till was stolen, along with iPhones, an iPad, and a range of other items.
An intruder smashed a glass window to gain access to the property on Stodman Street, where an untidy search was carried out. The café’s interior was also damaged during the incident, which occurred sometime between midnight and 2:00 am on Sunday (1 December).
Staff discovered the damage when they arrived later that morning and notified the police soon after.
PC Simon Pinnington, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“The owners of this business have understandably been left very upset by what happened.
“The till, electronic devices, and a range of other items were stolen, while the intruder caused considerable damage within the premises in the process.
“We are determined to get to the bottom of what happened here and to track down whoever was responsible, so that they can face justice for their actions.
“While this break-in happened in the middle of the night, we believe there’s a good chance, because of its location, that someone may have seen what happened.
“Someone may also have inadvertently caught the moments the break-in took place on CCTV, doorbell, or dashcam footage.
“If this is you, we’d ask that you please get in touch with us and share the footage, as it may assist us with our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police by calling 101, quoting incident 166 of 1 December 2024, or to report it anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
