Cleveland Police said: “A 44-year-old man has been charged with trespass with intent to steal, in connection with a burglary at LillyAnne’s Coffee Bar on Victoria Road in Hartlepool on Tuesday 28th March. He will appear at Teesside Magistrates’ Court today, Monday 17th April.”

LilyAnne’s supports people through a range of projects and bosses told the Mail the burglary was “an attack on the community”.

Later the same week, Poolie Time Emporium, another business in Victoria Road set up to help the community, was also broken into although there is no suggestion that the raids are linked.
