The comments come as police asked for help in identifying a man in connection with the incident they would like to speak to.

The Sandwell, on West Bromwich High Street, had its safe broken into at around 5.20pm on Saturday, June 10, before a thief made off with the five-figure sum.

Speaking to the Express & Star, a spokesperson for the pub explained how a set of safe keys were used to open the safe when the pub was busy.

"He came in when it was busy, he waited for the busiest time in the afternoon, waiting for everyone to be occupied, then went into the back area, took some keys and got into the safe and stole £10,000," the spokesman said.
