Police want help identifying two men after popular sweet shop was targeted by burglars
Police want help identifying two men after popular sweet shop was targeted by burglars South Wales Police have appealed for help in identifying two men after a burglary left significant damage to a shop Police are looking to speak to these men (Image: South Wales Police) Police have asked for help identifying two men as part of an investigation into a burglary at a Neath Port Talbot shop that resulted in significant damage. The traditional sweets shop called Sweet Delights was broken into at New Road, Skewen earlier this year. The burglary took place on Friday, March 21, at 2.15am and saw significant damage being done to the shop's façade. It appeared that someone forcibly entered the shop by breaking in through the main door, damaging a mechanism and shattering a window in the process. Ashley Couch, who runs the shop with his partner Rebecca Couch, told WalesOnline in March 2025 that they were alerted to the damage by a DPD driver who had called him after seeing the damage. The damage to left to the Sweet Delights shop in the wake of the burglary (Image: Ashley Couch) Mr Couch told WalesOnline: "At around 7am on Friday (March 21), we had a phone call off a guy who was doing deliveries in the local area, to tell us that our windows had been smashed. "We left the house straight away and when we arrived, we noticed that somebody had broken in. I was devastated, it's my little family business, it's one of those things where we have built it from scratch - only for someone to come along and destroy it all." Sweet Delights was opened in February, 2023, and specialises in retro pick and mix sweets like Swansea mixture and sherbet pips. Mr Couch said at the time that children had been left crying after the burglary as they thought the shop would be closed for good. Mr Couch had explained: "The community of Skewen has been behind us and trying to help us as much as they can. Everyone loves coming to my shop, because it takes them back to their childhood. "You don't see many sweet shops where you can get sweets out of a jar anymore. "When it happened, we were up there early before the kids were going to school, and the kids were going past and half of them were crying because they thought it was gone." It was expected that the damage would require thousands to fix. Now, South Wales Police is looking to identify the two men pictured above, who may be able to help with the investigation. In a post on the Facebook page, the force wrote: "Officers continue to investigate a burglary at a commercial premises on New Road, Skewen, Neath Port Talbot which took place at around 2.15am on Friday, March 21 and are appealing for any new information. "Substantial damage was caused to the shop façade in order to gain entry. "Officers are seeking to identify the two men pictured, who were seen on CCTV in proximity to the premises. "Though the resolution is limited, we are hoping that their general appearance, alongside the vehicle, could be recognised. Article continues below "Anyone with information should contact 101, quoting 2500089261." The force told WalesOnline no arrests have yet been made in relation to the incident.

We came to Bali for a dream getaway - but a drunk Australian ruined everything for us
Two British mates on holiday in Bali have claimed they were run down in the street by a tattooed Aussie who police alleged had been on a drunken carjacking rampage. North Londoner Jesse Green, 27, travelled to the holiday island for a relaxing break and had met up with his brother and also his friend Luke Ellis, 25, of Birmingham. Mr Green, who runs a sales agency back in the UK, claimed he and Mr Ellis were departing another friend's house in Canggu on a motorcycle just after midnight Sunday when a black Toyota Avanza mowed them down. He said the pair were sober and sharing a single bike when they were 'rammed from behind' by the car, which the police had accused the Australian, known only as WRJ, of having carjacked earlier that night. 'It was completely unprovoked. We'd never seen him before,' Mr Ellis told Daily Mail. Mr Green bore the brunt of the impact and was thrown from the back of the bike, while Mr Ellis went sliding along the bitumen with the machine. Fuelled by adrenaline, Mr Ellis managed to shove the bike off himself before collapsing just moments later. 'We were both just lying in the road in shock, like ''what the hell happened?'',' Mr Green said. As the pair were getting their bearings on the road, they looked for what had hit them. 'And we can see in the distance, the SUV is just driving off, hit and run style. 'We were there in shock physically, mentally, everything you can imagine,' Mr Green said. Witnesses called an ambulance to take them to hospital where they discovered the extent of their injuries. The pair's helmets had spared them head trauma, but both men suffered serious injuries to their lower bodies. Doctors discovered Mr Green suffered a fractured pelvis, confirmed by CT scans of his hips and spine taken at 4am on Sunday. His medical bills are already more than $1,000. He also fears it could cost him crucial clients at work by delaying his return to the UK. Mr Ellis sustained deep abrasions and burns from the bike and the road surface, with his treatment medical bills already at $500. His gleaming sport bike was also badly damaged on the body work and frame with repairs expected to exceed $2,000. Both have paid the bills out of their own pocket. Balinese police arrested an Australian man (pictured speaking with police in his underwear) after a burned-out car was found nearby, allegedly stolen from a villa security worker Mr Ellis remains bed ridden while Mr Green is recovering with limited mobility. Their ordeal didn't end there. As the men received treatment in hospital, Mr Green's brother approached local police and claimed he was told by the accused's lawyer not to file a police report. The pair then contracted a local lawyer and told him they wanted to file a police report for the alleged hit-and-run through a translator. The lawyer informed them foreigners could not make police reports under Indonesian law but promised to help them seek a reimbursement for their medical fees and the bike. He assured them it was a standard process under the government and told the men he would speak to the lawyer representing the alleged carjacker. 'After he went to meet with the lawyer, whatever happened… everything changed. His whole tune changed,' Mr Green said. 'We don't know what has happened, but… he changed his tune. To the point where now this morning he said, ''I can't represent you guys. I can't represent you guys''.' The Australian reached a peace agreement with the car's owner (pictured together) on Tuesday, police said The pair said they are struggling to understand the local legal system, and are unsure whether the accused will be brought to justice. They fear they could be left without financial compensation if authorities do no cooperate with them. Law consultants at Legal Indonesia previously stated foreigners may encounter challenges dealing with local police. 'Foreigners in Bali often find themselves at a disadvantage. Police do not always readily accept reports and may even avoid engagement due to language barriers or reluctance to handle cases they see as difficult to resolve,' they said. Police alleged the Australian had intimidated security officials at the Seminyak villa in which he was staying, choking one and stealing a car from another. The man allegedly drove off in the Toyota Avanza while drunk, as the owner and his colleague gave chase. It was found engulfed in flames early on Sunday morning with the interior completely incinerated and the windows smashed outward by the blaze. Police said they returned to the man's villa in Eden the Residence by the Sea and arrested him. Management at the villa complex told police their suspect had been involved in other disturbances before the alleged incident on Sunday. The Australian was arrested and taken to North Kuta Police Station and was questioned by police on Monday. However, after he was detained and the case was transferred to police and seen by immigrations officials, the Australian was released on Tuesday. North Kuta Police Chief Pasek Sudina said he reached a peace agreement with the security guard who owned the vehicle. 'The victim I Ketut Wijaya Kusuma decided to not lodge a police report as the perpetrator has agreed to give him compensation over his loss,' he said. He is due to sign a separate agreement over a case of alleged phone theft with a manager of The Club Bali. '(He) has also agreed to cover the medical cost for another foreigner that has been hit by the car driven by him during the escape,' Police Chief Sudina said.

Moment cyclist is pushed into canal by furious dog walker in row over 'slowing down' - but who do you think was in the right?
A cyclist was pushed into a canal by a furious dog walker who argued she should have 'slowed down' as she approached. Neither side backed down in the bitter row along a country path - but who do you think was in the right? The astonishing clip sees Klaudia Mitura, 34, biking along the narrow walkway on her usual morning commute as she comes across a couple walking their dog. Footage from her bike camera shows the cyclist braking in front of the pair as one of them appears to shout for her to 'slow down'. At this point, Ms Mitura points out the walkers have a dog, to which the man angrily responds: 'Yeah but you're on a f*****g bike.' He then calls her 'a f******g idiot' before pushing the cyclist, who cannot swim, into the water. The camera then shows Ms Mitura plunge into the canal, prompting immediate panic as she was still strapped to her bike pedals. The mother-of-two later revealed she thought she would 'drown' as she stuggled to emerge from the cold water. But, thankfully, she found a rock tall enough to allow her to stand on it and remain above the surface. Ms Mitura only made it out of the canal when a passerby caught sight of her struggling and hauled her out. She said the good Samaritan helped her call the police after her phone became damaged from being underwater. The machine operator admitted she thought she might die and claimed that the couple did not look back to check if she was okay after pushing her in. Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were investigating the incident but that no arrests have been made. Ms Mitura, who is from Poland but lives in Manchester, said: 'When he passed me, he just pushed me in the water. They were gone, and didn't turn their heads to see if I'm alive or not. 'I was very scared because I can't swim, I stood on a stone. I thought I would drown. I don't know what I would do if no one had walked past me. 'He refused to move out of the way, I didn't do anything, I just wanted to pass him and go my way.' She added that she has been left 'traumatised' by the experience and is scared of cycling again despite it being her main mode of transport. Ms Mitura shared the video on TikTok where it raked in more than 600,000 views. She said: 'I'm scared of walking or cycling down there, I took two days off from work. It's good I had the camera because the police can find him. I haven't cycled since Tuesday, I don't know when I will do it again. 'I need help with my mental health. I'm on my own with that, I'm traumatised. It's the first time anything like this has happened. 'Cycling was my main means of transport. I'm physically OK but mentally it's really bad. 'I need to be strong because I have two kids so I can't show them that something is wrong with me.' A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: 'This is an open investigation, no arrests have been made so far but enquiries are ongoing.'
