Thief sneaks into Brewdog, steals from staff, then goes on spending spree

A thief snuck into a city centre bar and stole from staff before splashing their hard earned cash at the shops.

Brewdog on Peter Street was targeted by the crook last month.

Police say the man managed to get in through the rear of the popular bar and then began riffling through the coat pockets and belongings of staff.

He swiped a rucksack - containing a small amount of cash and some bank cards - before escaping and going on a spending spree around Manchester, buying around £140 worth of goods.

Officers investigating the burglary, which happened just before 5.15pm on April 9, have now released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the burglary.
