Two people have been released on bail as police continue to investigate an attempted robbery in Caerphilly.

The incident reportedly happened at a shop on St Cenydd Road, Trecenydd, at around 10.30am on Thursday December 18.

Police officers attended alongside specially trained firearms officers as a precaution.

A 49-year-old man from Cardiff and a 36-year-old woman from Caerphilly were arrested following the incident. They have now both been released on conditional bail, Gwent Police confirmed.
