Incident - HSBC Newport - Appeal for information...

Dear Resident,

We are appealing for information following a burglary at the HSBC bank, High Street, Newport.

The incident was reported in the early hours of this morning, Monday 23rd June 2025, at approximately 2.45am.

It appears the offenders were well organised and all the indications are that they are a group from the out of the area who have been responsible for a series of similar offences which have occurred nationally. There is nothing to suggest that there is an increased risk of further offences within Newport at this time, this appears to be an isolated and targeted attack. You will of course see an increased police presence there today as we carry out forensic investigation and crime enquiries, and there will be further patrols overnight for the coming weeks.

If anyone does have any information they feel is relevant, this can be shared with the Newport Safer Neighbourhood Team, on their email, newport.snt@westmercia.police.uk.

Kind regards,

Rich Edward,

Safer Neighbourhood Officer,

Newport Safer Neighbourhood Team.
