Appeal following burglary at local food bank

We're appealing for information and CCTV footage following a report of a burglary at a food bank in Llanyravon, Cwmbran.

We received a report of a burglary after an unknown person broke into Cwmbran Methodist Church, Llanyravon.

A window was smashed to gain entry at some point between 1am and 4am on Tuesday 30 August, and a quantity of food was taken from the building.

Two large freezers were reportedly left open during the burglary, resulting in food needing to be thrown away.

Officers continue to carry out enquiries, and our We Don't Buy Crime team is working with volunteers at the foodbank to offer support and advice around security.

We're particularly keen to speak to an individual seen carrying a dark rucksack on their back in the area of Dorstone Walk and Llanyravon Way at around 3.50am.

Anyone with information or CCTV footage, particularly those who live on Dorstone Walk and in the vicinity of Llanyravon Way, can call us on 101 or send us a direct message on social media, quoting log reference 2200294359.

Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 with details.
