A car window has been damaged following what is thought to have been an attempted break-in outside a property in Wrexham Town Centre.

Earlier this morning Wrexham.com were contacted by the owner of the vehicle, who told us that sometime after 11pm last night an attempt was made to break into a Vauxhall Insignia parked outside her home.

It is believed the offender tried to break into the vehicle using a crow bar – resulting in the damage to the window seal as pictured in the featured image and below.

The car owner, who contacted Wrexham.com this morning said: “I can’t believe it, I’m totally shocked. Lots of groups of men walk past a lot in this area.  Such a shame it’s made me feel really unsafe in this area now.”

The crime reference number for the Maesgwyn Road incident is S136391.
