Grow Kitchen in Morecambe

The owner of a cafe in Morecambe town centre said he is "absolutely raging" after an overnight break-in.

Rob Fenton from Grow Kitchen has called for support from customers after the burglary at the popular brunch spot on Queen Street.

The front door glass has been smashed and Mr Fenton said the thieves targeted the till inside the premises.

"Just arrived to my little cafe that I love so much...it's been broken into overnight," he said, in a video on the Grow Kitchen Facebook page on Friday.

"I'm absolutely raging.

"The police have been and advised me of next steps. We have CCTV.

"They have come in for the till. We barely keep anything in the till. Totally pointless.

"They've just cost us a load of money in repairs and a lost day of trading."

Mr Fenton said Grow Kitchen would be closed on Friday but he hoped to be open again at the weekend.

"Next week we'd really love your support in the cafe, to help us boost things after this," he said.

"These things happen but you don't have to like it."

Morecambe BID (Business Improvement District), posted in support of Grow Kitchen, saying: "This is sad news - we are sorry to see such a mindless destruction of an independent business in our town.

"If you can help the team with any information, or more importantly, if you can make a point of supporting them this weekend or next week, we know they would be very grateful."

If you have any information to help police with their enquiries please call 101.
