Paul Owen Jones, 22, and James Owen Jones, 23, were arrested on Monday 3rd October and have been charged with three burglaries and two attempt burglaries. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Both appeared at Mold Magistrates Court today, Tuesday 4th October. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Det Chief Insp Neil Harrison said: “In recent weeks we have seen an increase in the number of burglaries in the Wrexham area where properties have been targeted, car keys stolen and vehicles taken.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We are working extremely hard and committing significant resources to address this increase, but I would urge the public to ensure that they secure their properties and that any car keys are secured out of sight.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

He added: “Around this time of year we see an increase in burglaries due to it getting darker earlier and offenders use this to their advantage. I would ask the public to remain vigilant and to report anything suspicious to the police.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
