The company have said that the damage comes as a huge financial blow, with the damage estimated to be over £1000.

Hele Cross Service Station Ltd  said on their Facebook page: “Unfortunately due to another break in our vacuums and one jet wash will be out of order for the next day or two.

“Sadly this happens at least once a year, people use crowbars or big screw drivers to pull open the doors, only to realise that there’s a locked safe inside the machines, not a loose cash box.

“Even if they had got into the safe we empty them every evening so that they hold no cash overnight. It’s a huge pain, and a really needless cost to any small business. We’re an independently owned store focused on providing for the local community around us in a more friendly, personal way, we don’t have the backing of a larger company so these break ins are a heavy financial blow.
Fortunately this time our CCTV combined with the polices existing knowledge of the suspect has led to an extremely quick ID and with a little luck a swift conviction. Over £1000 worth of damage, to steal AT BEST £10”
