An attempt to break into an historic York caf was thwarted because the windows of the building were too small.
Owners of the Cat's Whiskers caf, in Little Shambles, found a window had been smashed by a piece of guttering taken from the roof.
But the offenders were unable to get into the building because of the size of the gap.
The incident happened at 6.30pm on Saturday. Anybody with information is asked to phone York Police on 01904 631321.
