Investigating officer PC David Slade said: “A safe is a heavy item and a lot of effort would have been required to move it.

“Also a significant amount of noise would have been created when the suspects were moving the safe out of the pub. Did you hear anything?

“We believe the suspects moved the safe towards the river area and put it in the back of a vehicle.”

Anyone with information is asked to report it online or by calling 101 quoting 417 of 23/03.
