A popular Carmarthenshire chippy is searching for a culprit who dumped a mattress outside their property, sharing CCTV footage on social media in a bid to identify the person...

The incident occurred shortly before 11pm on Wednesday, October 29, at the multi-award winning West End Cafe on Lammas Street in Carmarthen.

In a bid to track down the culprit, the owners shared CCTV footage of the ‘dumper’ leaving the item in a skip belonging to the cafe on Facebook, stating: “Hi everyone, someone’s left a mattress by our skip last night. Next time, please add a pillow as well — we could’ve had the full set!

“Does anyone know who it might belong to? Just need to sort it out with whoever left it behind. Cheers!”
