Bags of rare coffee, grinders, and ornate teapots were taken from The Fields Beneath café in Prince of Wales Road between 7pm on Thursday, June 13 and 6.30am the following day.

British Transport Police (BTP) say the thieves must have been “agile” to steal the items from the shop.

Officer have issued photos of the high-end goods to jog memories of people who may have seen the perpetrators.

Detective Sergeant Tony Gittins, who is leading the investigation, said: “Due to the nature of the scene, we believe the perpetrators would have have to be agile and of slight build to gain entry into the shop.
