Police have closed an investigation into a burglary at a Newtown High Street bank.

The Santander branch was targeted by thieves during an eight-minute raid overnight on Friday, March 22.

It is understood that at least £35,000 was stolen from a cash machine which was broken into from inside the branch.

Dyfed-Powys Police has confirmed that an investigation into the burglary has now closed.

A spokesperson for the force said: "Extensive enquiries were carried out in relation to this investigation, including CCTV, forensics, media appeals, and liaison with other police forces.

"The victims have been informed of this decision and advised that although the investigation is now closed, it can be re-opened if any new evidence comes to light, or the suspects are identified.”

Police cordoned off the branch, which was closed for days, with tape while officers gathered evidence from the scene, and carried out shop-to-shop and CCTV enquiries.
