Burglars smashed their way into Leyburn Co-op and stole cash from the tills on Monday.

Police said the suspects broke into an outer door of the store, in the market place, at about 10.30pm before breaking into the main door at about 11pm.

Once inside they caused damage to the till area before leaving with cash from the tills.

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: "The suspects are both described as male, one was wearing all black clothing and navy blue trainers, and the other one wearing a turquoise jacket, with black trousers and trainers.
