A thief used a "picnic table as a battering ram" during a break-in at an East Belfast pet supplies store where money and charity boxes were stolen.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, December 4, someone entered the rear garden of Murphy & Bailey Pet Supplies on Belmont Road before breaking through the glass in its back door and raiding the tills and taking four charity boxes.
The incident took place just hours after the store had finished trading from a very popular Small Business Saturday.
