Despite the fact the ATM and three vehicles were recovered, police did not confirm if any suspects were in custody and said they were not releasing any more information while the investigation is ongoing. They did confirm no arrests have been made.

The Hay Road premises only opened at the location last September on a derelict former Powys County Council highways depot on the edge of town.
