Police warning after man seen acting suspiciously and “prowling” Ruabon Road area

Police are urging residents in the Ruabon Road area of town to remain vigilant after reports of a man behaving suspiciously and “prowling” the area.

There were similar reports of such activity taking place the Offa area back in May.

In a renewed appeal for information, police are again asking residents in the Ruabon Road, Edward Street and Poyser Street areas to be vigilant after further reports of suspicious activity.

In one such incident a man was seen stood outside the kitchen window of a property, before running away when seen by a resident.

DCI Gary Kelly said; “In May we appealed for information following reports of a man behaving suspiciously late at night in the Ruabon Road, Edward Street and Poyser Street areas.

“In recent weeks we have received further reports of a man prowling the area, including an incident at around 1am on Sunday July 7 when a man was seen outside the kitchen window of a house in Edward Street. He fled when seen by the occupant.

“I am appealing for information and any dashcam footage between midnight on July 6 and 2am on July 7 around the Edward Street area.

“We don’t at this stage know if these incidents are linked, but I would ask residents to make sure their homes and outbuildings are secure and to report any suspicious activity to police on 101 or through our live chat quoting reference X094885.
