Two in custody after ‘aggravated’ house burglary that left mother and baby with ‘minor injuries’

Two people remain in custody after an aggravated burglary that saw a mother and her baby taken to hospital.

Two males have been arrested following an aggravated burglary at an address in Llys y Groes, the new “Erddig Place” development off Croesnewydd Road.

The incident happened at 2.33pm yesterday when the males entered the property and stole items of jewellery.

The female occupant of the address and her baby were taken to hospital as a precautionary measure following the incident.

Acting Detective Chief Inspector Eleri Thomas said: “Thankfully the mother and baby suffered minor injuries, following what is believed to be an isolated incident. Officers are in the vicinity today conducting reassurance patrols.”

Police say males currently remain in custody.

It is unclear if the Chief Constable is referring to this incident in his tweet this afternoon:

Great work last night by local officers who arrested 2 people after a violent burglary in the Wrexham area, we will be visible in the area reassuring local communities and continue to support the innocent victim.
