Witness Appeal After Burglar Walks Out With Hotel Cash RegisterWitnesses are being sought by police after a burglary was reported at a hotel in Sandown on the Isle of Wight.

It’s alleged someone went into the Parkbury Hotel on the Broadway and stole a cash register from behind the bar at approximately 2.30pm on Thursday, November 18, 2010.

Did you see someone with cash register?
The register contained approximately £100 in cash.

Investigating officer PC Rob Quick of the Isle of Wight’s Targeted Patrol Teams (TPT) said: “This was a burglary carried out in broad daylight by someone who we believe knew exactly what they wanted to steal. Enquiries over the past week have established that the area around the hotel was busy with passing pedestrians and motorists. It’s believed the burglar walked out of the hotel carrying the cash register. I’m appealing to anyone who may have noticed someone acting suspiciously near the Parkbury Hotel last Thursday afternoon to contact police.”
