Wrexham snooker ball attack over puppy theft attempt
A woman was hit in the face with a snooker ball as two teenage boys tried to steal her puppy in Wrexham.
She was walking the St Bernard and a German Shepherd dog in a field off Ruthin Road, Bwlchgwyn, when the boys asked her if they could buy the puppy.
Police said she refused and they attacked her before attempting to flee to a flatbed truck carrying scrap metal at about 16:30 GMT on Friday.
They were stopped from taking the St Bernard by the German Shepherd.
North Wales Police said they were appealing for witnesses to the "vicious assault".
