Original story below…

We have popped down this morning, pictured above, and are pleased to say the store is open and trading regardless of last nights events.

The Bargain Booze store is at the bottom of East Avenue, just off the Llay New Road out of town, and as of 10:30pm blocked off the road to traffic with one eyewitness calling us to say they have seen at least six police cars in the area.

Around 10pm the police helicopter arrived overhead the Rhosddu area, circling wider taking in other areas of the town.

The National Police Air Service Helicopter service based out of Hawarden later confirmed they responded to a call to Wrexham around the same time, assisting North Wales Police ‘with a search for suspects in Garden Village area – enquiries ongoing by local units’.

Back in November the same store was subject to an robbery where offenders made off with cash and cigarettes – you can read our report on that incident here.
