A SAFE was stolen from a cinema in an early hours burglary.

The Depot cinema in Lewes was broken into between midnight and 3.30am on Good Friday, April 19.

Police say whoever was responsible “appears to have spent a significant amount of time inside” before leaving the scene with a safe that was later found discarded in Cow Lane, Laughton.

Police are urging anyone with information is urged to report it online or call 101 quoting serial 192 of 19/04.

They are particularly keen to speak to people who are known to have walked along Pinwell Road, between the cinema and the town’s railway station, while the burglary was in progress and someone who used waste bins in the area at the time.
