Two burglaries, one of which was an unsuccessful attempt, have been reported this week in remote areas.
The first happened close to Meifod last Thursday night when around £500 worth of scrap metal and unidentifiable tools were taken. The second, the previous evening, between the Llanfyllin turning and Llansantffraid, saw thieves use boltcroppers to enter a shed but nothing was taken.
Anyone with information should contact police in Welshpool on 101.
