DYFED-POWYS POLICE have arrested four people in connection with two recent thefts of mobile phones from shops in Llanelli and Carmarthen.
At around 7.15pm on Monday (Aug 13) four Apple iPhones were stolen from the Currys PC World store at Parc Pemberton, Llanelli.
10 mobile phones were stolen in a second incident which took place at roughly 9.30am on Tuesday (Aug 14) in the Carphone Warehouse store at St Catherine’s Walk, Carmarthen.
Dyfed-Powys Police strongly believe the incidents to be linked. In both instances, three men, each thought to be in their twenties, made threats to staff members and stole mobile phones.
Dyfed-Powys Police released a statement on Tuesday, saying: “Earlier this evening we arrested three males and one female in connection with the theft of mobile phones from the Carphone Warehouse store in Carmarthen, this morning. It is believed that this may be connected to other thefts at shops in Llanelli, Swansea and Merthyr yesterday and today.
“The vehicle was identified and monitored by police, before we located it at the Elan Valley Reservoir. Property has been recovered and the individuals are now in police custody.
“Officers would like to extend their thanks to those at the Elan Valley Reservoir for their assistance in locating the individuals.
“Please be mindful that criminal proceedings are now active – be cautious when making any comments here.”
