Recently there was a break-in at the Milano's coffee shop in Oswestry when a substantial amount of money was taken after burglars got into the premises after climbing over walls to get into the courtyard.

Burglars also recently broke into the Stanton Inn in Chirk while the landlord slept upstairs.
