Witness threatened as gang attempts to steal cashpoint
A group of men attempted to steal from a cashpoint and threatened a witness in the centre of a Mid Wales village today.
A member of the public saw a vehicle stop at Market Square, in Llanrhaeadr, between 2am and 3.30am.
It was reported that the group of men got out of the vehicle and were acting suspiciously near to a free standing cash machine.
