A safe containing a “substantial” amount of cash was stolen from a Fakenham pub after thieves broke in on Monday morning.
Police are appealing for information about the burglary at The Bull on Bridge Street, which happened between 2.50am and 4am.
The intruders smashed their way in through an upstairs window before escaping with the safe and a quantity of cigarettes.
The safe was later found empty and discarded near the Knights Hill roundabout at King's Lynn.
Ian Harper, one of the pub's landlords, said: “They tried the downstairs window and couldn't get in, so they've gone up to the flat roof and forced the locks on the upstairs window. Then they smashed the handle and a lock on an internal door.
