A new discount shop in Cardiff has been broken into after being open for only two weeks. Discount Junction, operating out of the former HSBC bank on Cowbridge Road East in Canton, opened its doors on Monday, May 15 and suffered a break-in with its windows reportedly being smashed just two weeks later.
Co-owner Hannan Nasir said: "The community had really been looking forward to us opening up here, and they were really excited. It's been really good, but we've only been open for two weeks and yesterday someone had smashed through the glass window, took a load of stuff and smashed a window to get out."
The shop was broken into overnight and the damage was discovered on Monday, May 29. Pictures show the smashed windows of the building and the till, which Mr Nasir said was emptied and left outside the building. He estimates the loss, including cash taken from the till and the price of repairing damage to the building, is around £1,500.
