The owners of a Blackpool restaurant have warned burglars who broke into the premises that the whole town is helping to track them down.

Robert Wynne, who owns the West Coast Rock Cafe in Abingdon Street with wife Gaynor, says more than 100,000 people have viewed the CCTV footage which they have posted online – with several people independently identifying one of the men in the images.

Two men broke into the premises around 4am on Saturday morning, smashing through a fire escape and stealing petty cash from the premises.

Mr Wynne said: “The message to them is simple – we know what you look like.

“That’s because they were stupid enough to stand right on front of the CCTV camera so we have pretty good pictures of them – one in particular.
