This morning around 10am, Plantuguese was broken into. Thankfully none of us were inside at the time. The man smashed our toilet window and stole cash from our tills.
While checking the CCTV later, we spotted him walking down the street nearby. We ran after him and managed to catch up with him. During the chase, he picked up a shovel he found and tried to confront us with it, while also jumping over fences trying to get away,but thanks to determination, courage, and the unbelievable support from people around us, we managed to stop him.
Today really showed us what community spirit in Bristol means. Complete strangers stepped in to help, support us, and make sure we were okay. We honestly can’t thank everyone enough ❤️
Small independent businesses go through so much behind the scenes, and today could have been much worse. We’re just grateful nobody was hurt and incredibly thankful for this amazing community standing beside us.
Thank you Bristol ❤️
