A BURGLAR who escaped with almost £900 from Rovers’ clubhouse is believed to have crawled underneath an alarm sensor to reach the cash.
And the targeted approach to the break-in suggests it might have been someone familiar with the club.
The Port Soif Lane building was secure at the time and its alarm system was switched on. But it failed to sound when the intruder entered. As well as the cash haul, alcohol was grabbed from the storeroom.
Licensee and bar manager Bryony Nicholls said the money, which was locked in a cupboard, was cash from fund-raising for the club.
