BURGLARS have made off with cash and cigarettes after breaking into a sports club.
They got into the cricket club in Leadgate, near Consett, at about 1.30am on Monday and raided the cigarette machine and a pool table.
The same night, the manager of the Sportsmans Arms, in Leadgate, chased off a would-be burglar.
The man was described as white. He was wearing a camouflage jacket and black trousers.
He was accompanied by a Jack Russell terrier.
