Nobody was inside the business at the time, which police said suffered significant damage.

“The circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be determined, however investigators are treating it as targeted,” they said.

Google Maps images of the outside of the cafe suggest the protective roller doors and bollards were installed sometime after 2023.
