Appeal following burglary of a York café

North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and information in relation to a burglary at the Rose Cafe on Haxby Road, York.

The incident happened at around 4:30am on 28 May 2023 when an unknown man forced entry into the premises before removing a cash till and iPad tablet. Following this he cycled away, towards the Haxby Road cycle track, with the cash till under his left arm.

He was wearing light-coloured tracksuit bottoms, a light-coloured hoodie with the hood worn up, dark gloves and dark trainers. He arrived at and left the scene on a bicycle - possibly a ladies style model.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who saw a person matching his description in the area between 4am and 5am that day, or has CCTV or Ring Doorbell footage which may have captured the incident. They are also keen to hear from anyone who is offered these items.
