Crime in Hay

Hay isn't exactly the crime capital of the Welsh Marches (though Spar now resembles Fort Knox after several break ins).
Occasionally, though, something serious happens.
Yesterday, it was the Co-op being ram raided!
I went down this morning, and there was little trace that anything had happened, except that the shutters were still down over some of the windows at the front. One rumour I heard was that the thieves had used a fork lift truck to get in, and had headed straight for the booze and cigarettes.
The lady on the till that I talked to said that they couldn't open until 1.30pm yesterday, so there must have been a lot to sort out before they were ready for customers.
