“The door’s reinforced, so it’s quite a bit of damage for that type of glass. It looks like he’s come down about 3.40am. He’s thrown a plant pot, he’s come back, grabbed a keg, and smashed it over ten times.

“It looks like he’s tried to get in, struggled, tried again.

“He’s looked at the cameras a couple of times so we’ve got his face.

“I don’t know what’s going through his head because he would only have bene able to get in the building and there’s only drink, there’s nothing else that he could grab.

“Police have been in and we’ve spoken to them about it.

“We’ve put up a cash reward and a night on us if we can find out who he is.

“We’ve already got a few leads and the CCTV will be handed in to the police.
