THIEVES have ransacked Wrexham’s multi-million pound academy training ground.
The complex is funded by Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
The state-of-the-art facility is being built as part of the club’s plans to move its youngsters into improved conditions.
The site is situated next to the Darland High School in the village of Rossett near Wrexham.
It was targeted over the Christmas period by the thieves.
Police have confirmed that multiple items were stolen during the incident which saw a padlocked gate damaged.
It is thought that the break-in happened between December 20 and January 3.
A valuable John Deere tractor and a Bateson trailer were two of the stolen items.
The Welsh club have filed a police report and are looking to recover the costs with its insurance.
A North Wales Police spokesperson said: “Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact officers on 101, or via our website, using reference number 25000008049.”
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
It is not the first time there has been controversy at the new facility.
Construction started before planning permission had been given by local authorities.
Also two of the buildings are being developed on a green land area which includes changing rooms, offices and a gym.
It comes at what has already been a disappointing week for the club after their fixture away at Port Vale was called off.
Wrexham were set to play on Tuesday night in the Vertu Trophy, but the game was cancelled just hours before kick-off due to snow.
Reynolds and McElhenney took over Wrexham in a £2million deal back in February 2021 when it had been slumped in the National League.
The club has since risen up the English football leagues having won back-to-back promotions to League One.
PARIS Hilton has revealed the heart-wrenching moment she saw her Malibu mansion burn down on live TV in the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
The Hollywood icon’s $8.4 million waterfront home is one of the many celebrity homes that have been turned to ash by the wind-fuelled blazes.
Paris, 43, took to social media on Wednesday to share the devastating news, along with a clip from KABC depicting the irreparable damage.
She said on X: “Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience.”
The socialite’s post came after inside sources told TMZ the house was “burned to a crisp” and “reduced to a pile of burning rubble”.
Hotel heiress Paris who has two children, Phoenix Barron and London Marilyn, with husband Carter Reum, said she was “heartbroken beyond words” from the inferno.
She added: “This home was where we built so many precious memories.
“It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London.”
Paris said that while the “loss” her family have experienced from the fires is “overwhelming,” she is “holding onto gratitude” that her family are safe.
Celebrity haunts have been left as ghost towns as gusty winds and dry conditions have allowed the five major fires – the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Sunset fires – to quickly spread.
Hilton stressed that the “devastation is unimaginable” and said that her “heart and prayers” are with families affected by the fires.
She added: “To know so many are waking up today without the place they call home is truly heartbreaking.”
The Palisades fire is the most destructive in Los Angeles’s history and has burned more than 17,000 acres, according to Cal Fire.
Most of those blazes started Tuesday, but new fires continue to start with a blaze in Studio City being extinguished.
The TV-personality-turned-political-activist said members of her 11:11 Media Impact Team were “reaching out to nonprofit organizations” to find out how to best support communities impacted by the fires.
She added: “To the brave firefighters and first responders risking their lives to protect us – you are true heroes.
“I am so grateful for your courage, dedication, and the incredible sacrifices you’re making to save lives and fight this unimaginable battle.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
She also encouraged her millions of fans to follow evacuation orders and stay safe as “you never know when everything could change”.
The Malibu home burned in the blaze wasn’t the “main residence” Paris lives in, as she owns “multiple properties,” including a gargantuan mansion in Beverly Hills.
Fellow A-listers like John Goodman, Miles Teller, and Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal have also seen their homes reduced to smouldering rubble.
As fires continue to turn anything in their path to ash, iconic landmarks are coming under threat.
It comes as…
The iconic Hollywood sign sits near the evacuation area, putting it in grave danger, as well as the Capitol Records building, the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Hollywood Bowl.
Five people died in the Eaton fire that is burning in Altadena and Pasadena as apocalyptic scenes have seen that inferno rip through homes.
Some 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate from that fire – which is burning nearer denser suburbs than the Palisades blaze.
Residents of the Hollywood Hills whose properties are at risk include Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga and Quentin Tarantino.
Desperate firefighters are bravely trying to contain the fires – but most remain at zero per cent contained in the difficult conditions.
Two water companies have told residents in Altadena to not drink tap water and to even not treat it by boiling it because of possible contamination.
Santa Monica has declared a curfew from sunrise to sunset for the part of the city under mandatory evacuation.
LA Fire Chief Kristen Crowley said: “I can tell you we’re throwing all of our available resources at it as we speak. I am seeing active water drops as we speak.”
People have been pulled from burning buildings as reckless residents refuse to leave despite clear warnings from officials to do so.
Aerial bombardment of the fires has restarted after winds had been too strong late on Tuesday night.
But, dry conditions are continuing pushing the exhausted firefighters to the limit.
City manager Miguel Marquez called the past 22 hours “brutal,” adding that people had “put their own lives at risk to save others”.
He said how police officers have been “door to door” evacuating those still in their homes which has saved lives – calling their efforts “heroic”.
“We will not relent, we will heal, we will rebuild,” he stressed.
