Tills Stolen During Armed Robbery at Brynteg Store

Police are appealing for information following an armed robbery at a shop late last night – the third incident of its kind to take place in Wrexham in the past seven days.

The incident took place at the Premier Stores on Victoria Road, Brynteg, Wrexham, shortly after 9:30pm Sunday February 5.

Three men entered the shop, one was armed with a knife and threatened staff, but no one was injured.

Two tills were stolen from the premises and the suspects made off towards the Holbourn Crescent area. It is not known at this time if they had a car parked in the area.

DS Anne-Louise Jones said: “Thankfully no one was hurt. This is the third such incident in a week, which we believe are linked.

“I am appealing to any witnesses or anyone who may have information to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting reference V017141.”
