A Norfolk café was broken into in the early hours of Friday morning, with all its gift vouchers swiped.
The incident happened at the Station Bistro in Wymondham, which has been run by Brendan Gray since February 2020.
It was also named Norfolk's best café at the public-voted Muddy Stilettos Awards in 2022.
The café's CCTV footage showed a man with his hood up breaking in at around 5am on Friday, December 1 and he is believed to be between 6ft and 6ft2in tall.

He was wearing a grey puffer jacket and tracksuit bottoms and he had a goatee moustache and wore glasses.
The bottom panel of the door was kicked in, which Mr Gray has temporarily repaired but the whole door will need replacing.
The gift vouchers were the only thing that was taken and fortunately, they are worthless without being signed by a member of staff.
They also all have numbers on so Mr Gray knows which ones to void.
He said: "Luckily, nothing major has been taken but it is a real nuisance as it has happened over the super busy festive period.

"We now need to get the door replaced and reprint all our vouchers, which we have been selling lots of as Christmas presents.
"It is also concerning as it is a rare thing to happen in Wymondham."
The café has also posted on social media urging people to only buy vouchers directly from them and to be vigilant of anyone trying to sell Station Bistro vouchers on as these are now void.
The Station Bistro has been inundated with messages of support from customers since the incident.
Anyone with information should contact Norfolk Police by calling 101 with the crime reference number 36/85026/23.
