One of the culprits of a burglary at a British pub 22 years ago finished the job - by finally making amends for what happened.

A woman who admitted to involvement in the 1992 smash-and-grab money theft of a cigarette machine at Swettenham Arms in Cheshire, England, wrote a letter to owner Frances Cunningham, saying she was "very sorry," the BBC reported.

"I did not realise the seriousness of my actions at the time," she also wrote. "I had been through a lot and had no idea where to get help."

The anonymous culprit, who referenced the fact that she did not actually break the machine, included a chegue for €120. Cunningham revealed she hadn't the "vaguest of memories" of the incident but now plans to meet up with the woman for coffee.

But the case might not be closed. According to the news outlet, Cheshire police could still investigate.
