The Sandwich Box Cafe next to Newton Press on the Business Park is about to celebrate their first year in business but they have been dealt a cruel blow.
On returning to open up for business on Friday 15th May staff found the premises had been burgled. Nothing was broken and only a small amount of cash was taken, but food was strewn across the floor with cupboards and drawers emptied, leaving a terrible mess to clean up.
Heather Jones the owner and assistant Sue Casey were upset and badly shaken.
“I can’t believe anyone would deliberately target us as we are a small business trying to make a living by providing a service to our community.
I would like to thank all our customers for their understanding and valuable support. We are now back in full swing and hope to see you all soon.
Don’t forget to check our Facebook page for special offers” said Heather.
