There was also an unsuccessful attempt on the Macksville High canteen.

Both Princess St shops were entered via the back doors; the cafe had a window pane smashed, while the butcher had the door kicked in. 

Petty cash, an Ipod and a Nutribullet blender were taken from Mack’s Ville Cafe, with owner Sally Druett making light of the situation by joking that the positive in all of this is that those responsible for the break-in might now be making the move to a healthier diet.

While at Dangerous Dan’s, owner Beau McCann said a mere $5 plus the Westpac Chopper donations tin had been pinched.

Neither business owner seemed surprised by the incidents, and expressed sentiments that they felt it was obviously ‘their turn’, referring to the spate of break-ins on businesses, residences and cars in the town over the past couple of years.

Several businesses in the area have been broken into several times in the space of 12 months.

For the two businesses that copped it last night, however, this was the first.

Police said those break-ins were the first that had occurred in several weeks.

Beau agreed that something needed to be done, but wasn’t optimistic that anything would be, and said he was uncertain whether it was even worth letting local police know.

Police have continued to urge the community to report all incidents to them, previously stating that if crimes went unreported, there really wasn’t a lot local law enforcement could do about it.
