Police are investigating after a café on the seafront in Ryde was targeted by burglars overnight (Thursday).
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary first received reports of a burglary at the Appley Beach Café on Appley Lane at around 08:00 this morning.
It is believed that the burglary took place in the early hours of this morning between 02:10 and 02:20.
A credit card and cash drawer from a till were stolen after the patio doors were smashed to gain entry.
An investigation remains ongoing, with anyone with any information urged to call 101, quoting reference number 44240226403.
If had more police seen on street would be deterant and save cost of investigating, also tougher sentance when in Court. Why don’t insurance companies contribute to policing, would be far cheaper than payouts.
I don’t think the police would be on patrol down there overnight. It’s too quiet.
Appley and the beach have quite a few issues, always damage, broken glass and other vandalism in the are precisely because IT ISN’T PATROLLED.
Prisons now full of non indigenous and their offspring from earlier‘arrivals’ that even IF caught, only a fine will be given.
Most scrouts who do this live on benefits so a fine of £1 a week is no deterrent
Crime watch was banned because it showed the type which are mostly into serious crime showed them in a true but bad light.
See the reason for no one of authority ever dare say it now
Typical old fool bigoted blame others comment.
This is where we need Saudi Arabia law to ensure people think twice about committing crime.
I think it’s a pity they didn’t have more teachers at your school to help with your spelling.
Businesses need to employ their own security.
It’s obvious these yobs don’t fear plod, they know nothing
will happen to them.
Why don’t insurance companies contribute to policing.
Because that is not what they are for. Like asking the local car cleaners to help pay for you new car.
Agreed. If the yobs who commit robbery , burglary and assault keep getting away with it , then others will see it as a career choice.
If they get caught then the punishment needs to be severe to send a message.
If we are short of prisons then build more, as the cost would be offset by the cost to society of their activities.Hope they get caught. More police please.
IW Council and local businesses employ a private security firm to patrol these areas between 10pm and 8am would help
Isle of Wight Webcam feed down too – coincidence?
Welcome to Tory UK. No prisons and no police, just lawlessness and disorder. But at least we get to give fake tax cuts.
You are going to get a surprise after the election. You will see nothing will change. Both cheeks of the same Harris.
Yes, I think poor old ‘fred’ will have to quietly disappear or use a different pseudonym after the next election and we see absolutely no change.
Some of us still remember the Blair years…
Probably Labour voters who broke in.
Do you mean the redistribution of wealth? Looks more like just plain theft and vandalism to me. Isn’t that more of a Conservative trait?
