A MAN smashed his way into a Brighton restaurant and fled with £800.
The suspect first gained entry to the Ole Ole tapas bar and restaurant in Meeting House Lane, via the roof and a toilet window.
He damaged an internal door to get into a staff room but was unable to go any further.
Instead he left the way he had come in and smashed a window to get into the main restaurant where he damaged a till and stole £800.
The break-in occurred at 1.30am on Monday October 10.
Earlier in the same evening the same man was caught on CCTV trying unsuccessfully to enter the nearby Angel Food Bakery, cracking a door and damaging the lock.
The suspect was wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap, a Nike track suit and Adidas trainers.
Anyone who recognises the man or has any other information is asked to contact Sussex Police by email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or phone 101, quoting serial 506 of October 10.
