POLICE have released pictures of two burglars who staged an audacious in-and-out raid on Taunton's Mecca Bingo hall.
The men were caught on CCTV forcing open gaming machines and emptying them of coins after breaking into the Corporation Street premises.
They escaped via the back entrance in Tower Street with £3,000 at around 6.15am on Tuesday, December 23. The raid took just a couple of minutes.
Police are studying the CCTV footage and are appealing for witnesses.
Anyone who may have been in the area of the crime between 5am and 6.30am on the day of the incident and who saw anything which may help the police with their inquiries should call Crimestoppers free on 0800-555111.
