Now the owners are hoping that the pictures will help them capture those responsible for the raid on Cleo's of Ironbridge.

Hope Cleobury, director of Cleo's, said they had been "gutted" to find the safe had been taken.

She has asked for the public's help in tracking down the burglars.

The High Street premises was hit at around 1.50am on Tuesday.

Ms Cleobury said: "Cleo's Is a fairly new family run business – we all work very hard and was gutted to find our safe had been stolen. We are really keen to catch the people that did this, we also believe the same people tried to break into other local pubs on the same night.

"The robbers broke in at 1.50am on Tuesday, April 3. There were three people in total and potentially another one waiting in the car on the roundabout just up from Cleo's.

"They were mainly wearing North Face clothing, including hats and balaclavas and tracksuit bottoms."

West Mercia Police said people had been seen carrying boxes from the premises and that witnesses had heard the alarm sounding at around 2am
