A PUB at Circular Road lost over $3,000 in cash after thieves broke into its premises early on Saturday morning.

The Million Star pub was closed for the day at about 3am on Saturday. When its manager returned later the same day at 8pm, he found the side door to the pub opened.

The man, in his 30s, realised that money from the cash register and a container holding coins, were missing.

Anyone with information should contact the police on 1800-255-0000.
