Ripon trader shares tearful video after shop vandalised

A North Yorkshire cafe owner has shared a tearful plea after her shop window was smashed ahead of one of her busiest trading days of the year.

Helen Slater, who runs the Cathedral View cafe in Ripon, said she was "heartbroken" after she found that its window had been broken with a rock.

Following the discovery on Friday, she said: "It's a struggle to make money and now I can't open."

Ms Slater has since posted a second video praising "team Ripon" for a "wonderful" community response.
