RESIDENTS Mount Estate in Milford Haven have been urged to exercise extra caution this weekend, following an unsettling incident that startled residents in the early hours of Saturday morning.

At approximately 3 am, a male individual, reportedly “covered in blood,” attempted to gain access to a property through its rear entrance.

Startled by the commotion, one resident told Herald.Wales: “We couldn’t make out what he was saying as he was clearly wrecked.”

Fortunately, the unidentified person departed of their own accord, but the residents were left puzzled as neither the sound of the back gate opening nor the bark of their vigilant canine companion alerted them to the intruder’s departure.

Consequently, the method of the individual’s exit, whether they leaped over the wall or employed another means, remains unknown.

The police are advising all residents in the area to undertake additional security measures. This includes ensuring that all doors are locked securely and windows are properly fastened.

THE TOWERING figure of Chewbacca made a grand first time entry to Pembrokeshire on Bank Holiday Monday, starring in the second Falcon Fun Day at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre.

The famous Star Wars character joined other re-enactors, including Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and Luke Skywalker, posing for countless photographs with the many hundreds of visitors who flocked to the centre in bright sunshine.

Starring inside the centre was R2-D2, the legendary droid from the Star Wars films. Re-enactors, from the 501st UK Garrison costuming group, travelled from across Wales and as far away as Milton Keynes to join in an event which is already becoming a firm favourite for Star Wars fans of all ages from a very wide area.
The Heritage Centre features a permanent exhibition telling the story of how the ‘Millennium Falcon’ spaceship was built in secret in a former RAF hangar in the 1970s for the Star Wars film ‘The Empire Strikes Back’.

Mark Williams, leader of the Falcon project, said: “The lightsaber training proved very popular all day and the virtual reality experience was a huge success. We are grateful to all the visitors for their support and patience as there were, at times, long queues. We shall be back again next year.”
