MONEY has been stolen in two separate burglaries after thieves burgled two pubs.

The first burglary happened overnight between Thursday October 20 and Friday October 21 at the Black Dog pub in Broadmayne.

A quantity of cash, from both the bar area and the staff storage area, was stolen during the burglary. This included up to £350 taken from a Christmas club fund in the bar, which local residents had contributed to.

The Coach and Horses in Winterbourne Abbas was targeted on Wednesday October 26 where more cash was stolen.

Police are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
