Burglars target Fish and Chip shops


FISH and Chip shops were targeted by burglars during a spate of raids over the weekend.

The crooks struck at Crispy Cod in Benfleet High Road where they tried to break the locks on the back door on Friday night.

They also targeted Louis Fish bar, in Long Road, Canvey, where they ripped a safe from the wall on the same night.

The third burglary was at the Village Fish Bar, in Long Road, Canvey, which was also targeted in the early hours of Saturday morning.

I bet the owners feel right 'wallies' letting them 'eggscape' without capture.
These 'Oily' gits will slip up soon and
will have had their chips.
'Batter' to own up now.
