The incident at Unikorn in Market Place happened during the early hours of Saturday, January 11 - and police have now launched an appeal to trace two men they believe could help them with their investigation.

During the incident, offenders rammed the door of the premises using a moped and removed the safe from the back office. Both offenders then left with the safe on the moped - the safe was later recovered in Codicote.

Officers would like to speak to man in the CCTV image as they believe he was in the area at the time and could have information which might help the inquiry.

They would also like to speak to anyone who recognises the crash helmet pictured, or who has seen one like it in the area recently.
