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.
