BURGLARS broke into the Ye Olde Pastie Shop in Bolton town centre and stole cash.

The break-in was discovered yesterday morning when staff turned up for work at the bakery in Churchgate.

The thieves broke in through the rear of the building, causing damage to doors and the cash register.

Shop owner Marie Walsh said: "They have taken some cash from the float. But it's not the money, it's the damage they have done."

It is thought the burglars may have gained access from the tax office car park next door by climbing over wheelie bins to get over the wall.
