Dapper Sandwich Company, in Wellingborough Road, has posted CCTV footage on their Facebook page of a man in a stripy hoody carrying off their till drawer in the early hours of February 11.

But it comes after the shop shared CCTV of another burglary on January 14 - which appears to show the same man in the same hoody rifling through their tip jar.

They have shared both videos online in the hopes of warning other shops and to help any police investigations.

Owner Sarah Clarke said: "The CCTV shows it's the same person wearing the same clothes as last time. He's bold as brass.

"It makes me anxious and just really sad. We're working so hard but it's soul-destroying to come in on a Monday morning and find the tip jar gone and the charity box broken. It makes you want to give up."

It comes after Hashtag Justin Chef, on Wellingborough Road, shared CCTV of a break-in on January 22 that appears to show the same man in a stripy hoody breaking into their till.
