Landmark Crooked House public house forced to close after burglar wrecks bar, kitchen and bathrooms
The landmark Crooked House public house has shut its doors after a burglary in which tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused.
The landlord of the iconic leaning watering hole between Dudley and Himley, Lee Goodchild, took to social media this weekend to explain that due to a break-in at the site on June 25, and with the building being on the market, the doors were now closed.
He said that someone had broken into the pub and caused "tens of thousands of pounds" worth of damage to windows, doors, furniture, bathrooms, the kitchen and spirit bottles.
Police officers from the South Staffordshire policing unit are investigating the break-in.
