POLICE are investigating the theft of money from a Donald Duck ride in a Swansea beer garden.
A man broke into the beer garden at The Colliers Arms, Winch Wen, and removed the box containing around £100 in coins from the ride.
Landlord Kevin Regan, who lives above the pub, said he heard noises from below at around 3.30am on Tuesday morning.
"I could not hear or see anything, so I went back to bed," he said.
But a man on a push bike had broken in — and Mr Regan said South Wales Police now have CCTV images of the suspect.

He said the box containing the money was found empty under the nearby railway bridge.
"We've never had problems before," said Mr Regan, who stressed that money from the mini-fairground ride in the beer garden was now being emptied daily.
He said the man in the CCTV footage was around 5ft 11, slim, and wearing jeans and a baseball cap. Mr Regan said he looked to be in his 20s, and had left a small torch at the scene.
The landlord wanted to know if any other businesses in the area had been targeted in the early hours of Tuesday this week, and if anyone with information could get in touch with police.
"It is very disappointing," he said. "It's just knowing that someone has been on your premises."
A spokesman for police confirmed the incident had been reported, and encouraged people to come forward with information that could help trace the person responsible.
