Pub bosses have said they "won't be beaten and will carry on" after a burglary at the weekend.
Police were called to The Barley Mow, in Main Street, Stapenhill, in the early hours of Sunday, June 30, after the raid, which happened around 3.45am.
According to Staffordshire Police, two people entered the pub and were confronted by the owner, causing the burglars to flee.
A spokesman from the force said: "Officers responded swiftly and arrested a 36-year-old man of no fixed address on suspicion of burglary and criminal damage.
"He has since been released under investigation pending further enquiries."
A message on the pub's Facebook page said the pub would not be beaten and that it was business as usual.
