Roadside cafe stolen from lay-by

The cafe used to occupy this lay-by in Keighley

A roadside cafe weighing two and a half tonnes has been stolen from a lay-by in West Yorkshire.

Michelle Palmer had been running the Tip Top Tasters cafe on Halifax Road in Keighley for a year, when it disappeared overnight on Tuesday.

The cafe contained catering equipment worth thousands of pounds and Ms Palmers has offered a reward for its safe return.

West Yorkshire Police said its officers were investigating the theft.

Ms Palmer discovered the green portable building had gone when she arrived for work at 0630 BST on Wednesday.

She said: "For the size of it you wouldn't think it would go so easily. No one seems to have seen anything."
