Thieves were caught on CCTV burgling a pub in Tottenham on the first morning of the lockdown.

The gang of four broke into True Craft just before 7am yesterday and made off with about £500, iPads and spirits.

A Deliveroo tablet that the pub’s owners David and John Lewis depended upon for craft beer and takeaway orders was among the haul.

David, 38, said: “The burglars got away with our only lifeline to survive as a small business.”
