Investigating Officer PC Lou Williams of the Eastern Roads Policing Unit said “At about 3.40pm on Tuesday 21st February 2017 a black Audi estate car was seen attempting to ‘hook up’ a trailer and road roller that had been left by workmen in a layby on the A483 at Wrexham. One of the workmen happened to be passing at the time and thwarted the would-be thieves but at the expense of having his own vehicle damaged as the Audi and occupants made good their escape, minus the trailer and load, further sound bound along the A483” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
