Charity shop broken into by thieves who 'tried to start a fire' inside

A charity shop in Swansea was broken into and ransacked by thieves who it is claimed tried to start a fire inside. Heartbroken volunteers at the Swansea and District branch of Cat Protection discovered at around 9.20am on Monday, May 16 that the front door of the charity shop at Brynymor Road in Brynmill has been broken into using a breeze block.

While inside, those responsible attempted to break open a safe, stole a tablet and allegedly attempted to start a blaze in the back room. Volunteer manager Lisa Kenny explained how the entire charity shop had been destroyed by those who gained access. You can get more Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
