Jake Finn, 22, broke into Café Royale on Castle Street in Hastings, East Sussex, and stole around £300 in the early hours of 7 September.

When police reviewed CCTV of the burglary they saw him entering the venue with a carton of milk, which he then put down while trying to remove the till and left at the scene.
