Shoppers were surprised yesterday (Wednesday, June 21) when they came into Welshpool's Tesco to find multiple fridges broken down.

As temperatures rose, staff were forced to empty most of the chilled food sections after an electrical issue led to some of them breaking down.

This meant many of the ready meals and the meal deal lunch meals were unavailable at around 1.30pm.
