When staff arrived for work on Saturday morning, they discovered all four panes of glass had been broken numerous times.

The cafe on Church Street are asking for witnesses to come forward - as there was no CCTV covering the area, and the owners think it is likely to have been caused by 'masked' vandals.

A post on the HIVE facebook page reads: "I soon discovered that this is not an isolated case. In fact, there have been a few incidences over the last couple of weeks where business have been targeted namely two on Clifton Street."

If you witnessed anything suspicious between 11pm - 6am on Friday night / Saturday morning, or if your business has been similarly affected in this way, please get in touch.
