On the night of Sept. 17, two men with backwards baseball caps sat at Sir Edmond Halley’s bar.
At 9:57 p.m., a surveillance camera shows one of the men glancing right — then left. He takes a framed photo off the wall, looks at it and puts it into a bag. The two men then seem to walk out of the pub.
The photo (and frame) don’t carry monetary value, only sentimental value to those pictured: the pub’s owner, Andy Hollis, and his friends at a wedding. But Hollis is hoping to track down the individuals and get the picture back.
