The raiders prised open security doors at Welcome Working Men's Club in Heath Gap Road, trashed gaming machines and stole cash.

Staff today said they were devastated and made a plea to anyone with information to come forward.

The offenders struck in the early hours yesterday.

A cleaner discovered the break-in at about 5am. It is thought cash was taken from a safe.

Club secretary Jack Haughey said: "We don't yet know exactly how much was taken. It's probably thousands. They've caused a lot of damage."
