Tidy thief makes off


with takings POLICE in Clitheroe are hunting a tidy thief with a penchant for corned beef. The thief broke into


Jimmy Clitheroe's cafe in New Market Street, on Sunday afternoon and, before he left with Guide Dogs for the Blind charity collecting boxes, the float from the till and Lottery money from a jar,' he helped himself to corned beef from the fridge, made himself a sandwich and poured himself a cup of Slush with which to wash it down. Proprietor Mr Christo­


pher Phillips said: "He only ate half the sandwich but, after he made it, he wrapped the corned beef back up and replaced it in the fridge. And he put the knife he had used in the sink." The thief used a spade to


cut a hole in the back door to enter the premises. Police are examining a


footprint left behind by a pair of trainers believed to have been worn by the intruder.
