    Two people have been arrested following an attempted armed robbery in Bryncethin, Bridgend.

    Officers were called to Blackmill Shop on Blackmill Road shortly after 7pm yesterday (Monday, April 27).

    A shop worker suffered minor injuries after she was struck by a missile – believed to have been from a crossbow – during the incident.
