Sad to hear that Campbeltown Bowling Club was broken into on Friday night and thieves made off with £500 from the Fruit Machine.

Shocking and rather worrying!

Doesn't it have an alarm?

Just goes to show, that while as an exile of many years I look at the town with rose tinted specs, there are scumbags everywhere. How is it that in a place that everyone knows everyone else's business, scum like this can get away with this sort of thing.

Probably tourists..

Not genuine tourist

Yes, but they were in and out in 5 minutes and the police arrived 10 minutes after the alarm first went off. The Bowling Club don't know the extent of of the financial loss to the club until Sims Automatics assess the damage to the machine.

The culprits tried to disconnect the alarm/phone system by not only trying to pull down the lines but trying to cut the lines!

Worrying to hear of such a calculated theft.
