Loud bangs or explosions have been heard in the early hours of the morning over the last three nights in Wrexham.

Yesterday Donna contacted Wrexham.com to say: “Did anyone else hear about 10 loud bangs/shots at 5am this morning in the Hightown area? Scared the life out of me. Curious to know what it was.

“It woke my little one up & my mum who lives the other side of Hightown to me. I found it very odd at that time of morning & strange how it was quite methodical, one after the other.”

The loud bangs are believed to have been heard in the area over the past three nights, with speculation ranging from people reporting seeing ‘green flashes’ to fireworks with another linking them to the meteor that burnt up over the UK yesterday.

After a brief investigation earlier today Wrexham.com has yet to find any official reports or explanation to the bangs.

Back last year there was a period of time when similar ‘bangs’ were heard over a period of days, however no explanation was found and police confirmed they had not had any reports of incidents.

Back in 2014 several containers were broken into with fireworks stolen, with the presumed thieves treating Caia residents to an unwanted display in the early hours.
