RAM RAIDING IN PARC - ARSON IN CARROG

In the early hours of Easter Monday a double attack was carried out on property in Parc and Carrog. The Parc Service Station Shop was subjected to a ram raid which resulted in considerable damage to the front of the shop, which was far greater than the value of chewing gum and Easter Eggs stolen by the raiders. The same people then made their way through Carrog where they set fire to Eileen Williams’ car after apparently being frustrated in their attempt to steal it.

Damage to another vehicle parked alongside was prevented when Eileen awoke to find the fire in her own car taking hold and roused Colin Roberts who was able to move his vehicle before it also became engulfed.

The fire brigade turned out and extinguished the blaze but as our pictures show the car was totally destroyed.

It is believed two men from Wrexham have been arrested for both offences but it has not been possible to confirm this with the police.
