Man 'eats cake and drinks prosecco' during pub raid
An intruder opened a bottle of prosecco and drank it while enjoying a slice of cake after he broke in to a pub.
The incident was captured on CCTV at The Inn at Belfairs, in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Pub owner Greg Weller said the man also helped himself to "couscous, a prawn and beetroot sauce" before removing the till from the bar.
Essex Police said it was investigating reports of a burglary.
Mr Weller said the man took the items to the venue's terrace, in Eastwood Road North, and consumed them.
He said staff had been left on edge by the intruder's "obscene behaviour".
"As owners, it’s disheartening when you’ve worked so hard to have someone come along and think this is OK," Mr Weller added.
The police appealed for any witnesses to contact them.
