A PIZZA joint in Potters Bar was burgled in an overnight raid.

On Friday thieves broke into Papa John’s Pizza in The Broadway, while employees were closing up after midnight.

After forcing their way into the building, the raiders stole a till containing a “large quantity of cash” – the till was later recovered unopened as the bungling burglars could not open it.

A spokesman for Papa John’s said: “In these cases our primary care concern is always for our customers and team members and we are delighted that no one was hurt during the incident.

“A cash till was stolen but the intruders were unable to open it and it was later recovered unopened.”

Witnesses should call police on 0845 33 00 222.
