It was the third time the popular eatery had been targeted by burglars in the space of a year.

At the time owner Owen Emmanuel told the Argus: "All they stole was around six bottles of spirits and bottles of wine.

"Personally I am very angry about it, it’s our third break-in in the last 12 months.”
