The burglary was reported to police when a member of staff arrived for work on Tuesday, April 7 last year and discovered the front shutter and glass-panelled door had been damaged.

Officers reviewed CCTV footage, which shows a man returning to the property several times over almost three hours, where he uses a variety of different instruments to break in.

The man is believed to have stolen a substantial amount of cash during the burglary.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Chris Lindley said: “We recognise this burglary occurred over eight months ago and our initial enquiries led us to believe a particular person was responsible.
