The incident took place around 11.45pm on Saturday night (20 January).

Police say a woman reported a man in a dark red, possibly burgundy coloured car approached her while she was walking along Tan Y Graig Road from the British Royal Legion pub.

The man, described as having dark hair and an accent that is not local to the area, asked her to get into the car. When she would not, he exited the car and tried to drag her to the vehicle.

Thankfully, the woman escaped to a nearby house – she was not harmed but is understandably shaken by the incident.

Dyfed Powys Police say extensive CCTV and house to house enquiries have been carried out, and they are now appealing to the public to help them identify the car and the driver.

A spokesperson from Dyfed Powys Police said: “The investigation has established that the car travelled along Hendre Road from Tan Y Graig Road. We are encouraging local people to check CCTV and doorbell or dashcam footage for sightings of the car.

“The incident is being treated as isolated at this time.”
