A TEAROOM owner has called for a streetlight to be reinstated after raiders smashed their way into the building to steal cash from the till.
Mistley Quay Workshops was targeted last weekend.
Owner Liz Cooper said she arrived on Sunday November 16 at about 10.20am to find customers browsing after having found the front door wide open.
Cash was also taken from the till at the Thorn Hotel, based in High Street, Mistley.
Liz is now calling for a streetlight near the Swan Fountain to be reinstated after it was removed when it was damaged more than a year ago.
