THIEVES made off with thousands of pounds from a Basingstoke coffee shop yesterday.
Detectives at Basingstoke say that between midnight and 1am yesterday, burglars entered the Costa Coffee shop in Chineham Shopping Centre, by a rear fire door. They broke into the safe, and it is believed a few thousand pounds were taken.
