POLICE are investigating after a popular butchers in Chepstow had a window smashed smashed during the weekend.
The incident happened overnight Saturday February 8-Sunday February 9.
Owner of Trim’s Town Gate Butchers on Moor Street in Chepstow town centre says the damage to the window will cost at least £200 to fix.
Matthew Trim had been looking forward to a well-earned day off with his family after a six-day working week, but said he spent much of Sunday braving the stormy elements to tend to the damage caused.
“I wouldn’t have had a clue what had happened if some nice people hadn't notified me via social media on Sunday morning,” he said.
“I had heard that the town was a little rowdy on Saturday night due to the rugby match, but I didn’t expect this.

“It was the last thing I wanted to do on Sunday, especially given the weather, but I had to get down there quickly at 9.30am to get it sorted because I knew how much water would be getting in.
