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.

“Anyway, CSI has found some blood on the door so hopefully it leads to something.”

Lancashire Police said: “Following enquiries, two men were arrested in Blackpool town centre on Sunday evening, on suspicion of burglary.

After consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, Lewis Danville, 29, of Cranbrook Avenue, Blackpool, and Jason Main, 34, of no fixed address, have been charged with burglary.

“They have been remanded in custody to appear before Blackpool Magistrates Court tomorrow.
