“Several items have been recovered for forensic examination and we are checking CCTV cameras in the area. We are doing all we can to identify those responsible and would appeal for anyone with information to please contact South Wales Police.”

The suspects sped off down the lane behind the Texaco petrol station in the general direction of Maindy Swimming Pool.
