TWO laptop computers and mobile phones were stolen during a break-in at a Powys charity head quarters.
The Llandrindod Wells branch of Powys Drugs and Alcohol Centre, which is based on Ithon Road, was broken into over the Bank Holiday weekend.

PDAC chief executive, Rob Hughes, said: "We were burgled over the weekend and there were some thefts, but
nothing all that major really and not too much damage was caused to the centre.

"It is disappointing for everyone though and meant we have all had to pull together to work a bit harder to get everything back on track again this week."

A spokeswoman for Dyfed Powys Police said the break-in happened sometime between 5pm on Thursday, March 20, and 8.30am on Tuesday, March 25.

During the incident, two laptops and two mobile phones were taken, the spokeswoman added.

Established in 1986, the PDAC is staffed by volunteers and is funded by Dyfed Powys Health Authority, Dyfed Powys Dip. Board, Social Services, Dyfed Powys Probation SMAPF Treatment Fund and Comic Relief.

The PDAC also has centres in Newtown, Brecon and Ystradgynlais, as well as running regular outreach days in towns such as Llanfair Caereinion, Machynlleth, Welshpool, Presteigne and Knighton.
