The owners of an independent deli say a break-in in the early hours of Tuesday morning is “frustrating and sad”.
Papadeli on Alma Road is just one of several food businesses in Bristol to be broken into so far in May after Two Ways on Bond Street, Sandwich Sandwich on Queen’s Road and Cafe 56 on Colston Street.

“We don’t keep cash on site so he didn’t steal much,” Papadeli wrote on their Instagram account.
“This has been happening a lot to Bristol shops and businesses recently.
“As if it isn’t hard enough running a business!”
