The centre suffered a similar break in back in February 2016. It is open to visitors today.

Owner Andrew Moody said: "Last time they stole a safe which caused us all sorts of problems.

"They always seem to do it on a Sunday night. We have our weekend trade and the money from that can be kept in a locked safe.

"They know it's an opportunity to take the money. It is frustrating, but we were better prepared this time, our alarms alerted me and the police."

Officers have attended the scene and enquiries are ongoing.
