Callous thieves have broken into Christies Beach bakery

Brazen thieves have broken into a popular Christies Beach bakery before fleeing with cash on Tuesday morning, with police now investigating the incident.

Two thieves - believed to be a woman and a man - were captured on CCTV around 5am, getting out of a red Mitsubishi sedan before they smashed the glass doors with a brick to enter the bakery.

Police rushed to The Espy Bakehouse located at the end of Beach Rd, but the offenders had already fled the scene with $90 from a cash register.

Bakery Owner Mark Lawlor told 7News the robbery was “pointless” because the suspects only fled with a ”minimum amount of money”.

Manager David Bowden was relieved no one was injured during the incident.

“I’m just happy that we didn’t have any staff members on site. Generally the bakeries, they do start at mid-night, one o’clock in the morning,” Mr Bowden said.

Around 6am, police received reports that a vehicle had been dumped on Archer Rd at Morphett Vale.

Further checks revealed the same vehicle, believed to have been captured on CCTV during the break-in, was stolen from a Reynella East address on Sunday, June 16.

Anyone with information that would assist the investigation is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via their website.
