POLICE are searching for two people in connection with an at attempted burglary on Broughton Retail Park.

The would-be burglars tried to gain entry to the Carphone Warehouse store on the retail park at around 3.30am on Friday, April 26, by knocking through a block wall at the back of the building which activated the store alarm.

As the offenders tried to knock through the wall, they damaged the water system of the staff toilets – which had resulted in flooding.

The thieves left the scene, leaving a hammer and crowbar used in the crime behind.

CCTV enquires are ongoing and anyone with information should contact North Wales Police on 101.
