An Ammanford newsagent is being driven out of business by burglars .

Neil Lewis, of Arcade News, off College Street, is threatening to shut after being raided twice in less than a month.

Mr Lewis called for improved security and the use of CCTV cameras when thieves made off with more than £2,000 worth of stock during a raid over the Easter Bank Holiday.

Now burglars have hit his store again - this time stealing around £500 worth of stock and smashing a £300 till.

"I am completely devastated," said Mr Lewis. "I have had an absolute guts full."

"I have simply had enough now, I do not know what else I can do.

"I got up this morning and I really did not want to come in and open up today. I think I am going to have to close down." Standing in his shop, strewn with small value coins and ransacked sweets after the raid in the early hours of Monday. Mr Lewis could only guess at the value of stock stolen.

"I'd say it was about £500 but it is hard to tell as yet. Last time they seemed to be after cigarettes and sweets, but this time it seems that they were more interested in smashing up the shop," he said.

The thieves smashed their way into the shop through a tiny rear window that could only have been entered by youngsters.

"Someone needs to get hold of them and teach them a real lesson," said Mr Lewis.

"As for me, I just want to get out of here. But who will buy a business that has been raided twice in three weeks."
