Staff at a popular Newcastle coffee shop have shared their disappointment after a thief stole plant pots and benches from its much-loved yard.
Heaton Perk on Heaton Park Road said the intruder came in through the back gate at around 5.30am on Sunday, May 22 and made off with plants from the yard and wooden benches from the balcony of the flat upstairs.
The coffee shop, which has been open for 15 years, has shared CCTV images taken from around the time of the incident on their Facebook page and reported the theft to the police who have launched an investigation.
