The owner of a cafe has described the moment she warned off a burglar who broke into her premises after watching him on CCTV. Nicola Conneely, who runs Playwrights Cafe in Coventry's Canal Basin, said he smashed a window at the business to gain access. She was alerted to the break-in by a message on her phone, which was linked to cameras she had installed. West Midlands Police said officers were investigating.
