Officers say that two men went to the Skybreak Travel desk in Zone J at the airport at around 1.30am yesterday (November 28).

A spokesman said: “While the desk was unattended, one of the men appeared to reach over and damage the tin, taking its contents – approximately £30 in cash – while the other kept look-out.” They later left the airport via the railway station.
