They said on Facebook: “Last night we were burgled again, that’s now five times in 14 months.
“Again, they got nothing, we are owner operators, why would we leave cash in the till overnight when it’s us who closes up ourselves?
“We can’t keep doing this, we are going to be speaking to the council Monday morning and telling them we have to put shutters on the building, we have no choice now.
“We now cannot get insured against burglaries and have to keep on paying for the damage caused out of our own pocket, it’s so disappointing when you invest so much into a town and you get nothing back in return.
