DNA profile of window smasher

Welshpool Police are leaving no stone unturned in their search for idiots who have caused mayhem in the town centre over the past fortnight.

Break-ins and smashed windows have left traders counting the cost, but Welshpool Police, with the help of a fed up public, are closing in on those responsible.

Following the latest incident of an ancient stained glass window being smashed at Great Escape in the former Pola building (pictured), police say they could soon have a DNA profile of the person responsible after blood was left at the scene.

In a Tweet following our story yesterday, Welshpool Police replied: “Blood recovered. Chances are a DNA profile will be obtained. This will be compared against NDNAD (UK DNA data base). I’d urge the person responsible to contact Welshpool Police.”

Since the turn of the month, there have been a number of break-ins at town centre businesses as well as smashed windows blamed on weekend revellers. Suspects have been questioned but enquiries are ongoing so if you have any information, call Welshpool Police on 101.
