Llanrumney residents concerned after an attempted burglary at supermarket on crime-hit street<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

RESIDENTS have raised concerns about crime on Countisbury Avenue following an attempted burglary at a Tesco Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supermarket’s windows were badly damaged in the attack, in the early hours of November 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shop was targeted at 1am by a man who tried and failed to force his way in, before turning his attention to the nearby Iceland shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When police arrived the man abandoned his plans and fled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and it doubtless will happen again,\u201d said Lisa Jones, who lives around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy concern is that companies might withdraw from the area, because of being targeted so often.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year a nearby Co-op was the target of an attempted break-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
