A Championship rugby league club have taken to social media to appeal for information after suffering three break-ins on consecutive weekends.
Barrow Raiders, who will play in the extended Championship competition in 2026, took to social media after three separate break-ins were recorded on the club’s CCTV footage at their ground.
The rugby league club took to social media just before Christmas, reporting that they had suffered break-ins in the early hours of Sunday 7th, 14th, and 21st of December.
With rugby league clubs run on such a tight budget, such incidents can be devastating, especially when damage is done, as is the case at Barrow.
The club confirmed that there had been damage to the marquee tent at the ground, with money taken from the till, as well as stock.

Barrow Raiders report spate of break-ins
The club’s post on Facebook was accompanied by three different videos, two that showed the break-in on the 21st of December, with another showing that of the 14th of December.
Barrow appealed: “Do you know where your teenage children have been between 2am and 3am for the last 3 Sunday mornings?
“We have had 3 break-ins to our marquee with damage to the tent and CCTV cameras and stock and cash stolen.
“Someone must know something or be able to recognise them from our CCTV videos.”
The rugby league club’s chairman, Steve Neale, told The North West Evening Mail: “Following our social media appeal, we have had a number of names and addresses sent to us and these have been forwarded to the police.
“Whilst the value of the stolen items is relatively minor, the slashing of our marquee and destruction of some of our CCTV cameras is more costly.”
Barrow Raiders begin the Championship season at home to Cumbrian rivals Whitehaven on Sunday, 18th January.
