A family running a Chinese takeaway in Pontarddulais say they have been "living on edge" ever since burglars ransacked their bedroom while their young children played in the room next door.
Mr and Mrs Dong - who did not wish to share their full names - said that on February 4 they were busy downstairs in the kitchen preparing orders for customers while two of their four children sat upstairs playing in their room. Little did they know that at the time people were ransacking their home looking for cash and valuables, just yards from their kids.
And they are not alone. Police confirmed this week there had been a spate of break-ins at Chinese restaurants and takeaways in Swansea since mid-January, with others recorded in the Gwent, Dyfed Powys, Gloucester and Avon and Somerset police force areas. Two men have been released on bail after being arrested in connection with the incidents while two other men aged 24 and 32 are now in the custody of West Midlands Police where they are being questioned in connection with a number of other similar offences.
