Beer boss counts cost of break-in at Bottle Monkey

Craft beer shop targeted on Saturday morning

A craft beer shop on the Isle of Man says it's had more than £1,000 of sales revenue 'wiped out' after a break-in.  

Bottle Monkey, on Nelson Street in Douglas, was targeted in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The offender was caught on CCTV damaging stock and electrical items, smashing glasses and removing kegs of beer from fridges.

Beer lines were also damaged leaving some kegs to drain onto the floor.

A post on Facebook from the shop's owner has sparked a swell of support from the local community with many pledging to help with the clean-up operation.
