Uckfield Police said they're looking for an early-morning burglar who broke into a rugby club, stole the cash drawer from a till — and found it was empty.

According to police, at about 5am on Thursday 28 May, a man entered the grounds of Uckfield RFC at Nevill Road, Uckfield, by climbing the main gate.

It's believed he then used a brick to smash the glass on the pitch exit door, then went straight upstairs to the till behind the bar, and smashed the till screen with the same brick.

He then took the cash register's drawer.

Officers believe he left by running across the rugby pitch towards Mitchelham Road and the woods nearby.

But the till drawer was empty, because the club had been closed since March as part of the coronavirus lockdown.

Officers issued a CCTV image of a man they'd like to identify.

PC Rebecca Walter said, 

"If you think you know who this man is, please let us know.

You can contact us online or by calling 101, quoting serial 254 of 28/05."
