Ashton pub devastated by burglary in early hours

A pub in Ashton has been left devastated after a burglary at 3am this morning, April 4.

Landlady Pauline Town took to Facebook to announce the incident at the The Station Pub. She said the perpetrators had smashed the window to get in and "cleared [them] out of spirits".

The Warrington Street premises is well known for having been turned into a welfare hub for the homeless, where Pauline's ‘We Shall Overcome’ organisation is headquartered.

Pauline's Facebook post read: "It's happened several times over the nearly 20 years we've been here, but it never stops being a kick in the guts.

"Hopefully we've got their faces on the CCTV on the bar...but for now I am just waiting to get the window boarded and the mess cleaned up."

Many social media users commented, urging Pauline to share a list detailing items that need replacing and even offering to drop off bottles they had at home.
