South Wales Police are investigating after a Fairwater takeaway was broken into for the third time.
Owners of Yummies Kebab on Plasmawr Road, Cardiff, watched in horror as the bungling thief broke into the store just hours after closing its doors before making a leap out of a window hearing that police were on the way.

We additionally asked South Wales Police how they are tackling this type of crime within the area but no comment was made despite repeated attempts.
Ibrahim, owner of Yummies Kebab, said, “This guy broke into our shop after we closed and damaged a gas pipe when escaping leaving us to pay a huge bill for the repair.

They need to be more proactive and start policing our streets better”.
