Burglars steal tractor from Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney project: Christmas break-in at site of Wrexham’s new multi-million-pound training ground

Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been helping to fund another ambitious project that is intended to help the Red Dragons achieve their ultimate goal of reaching the Premier League. A state-of-the-art training centre is considered to be integral to those plans.

Another setback has, however, been suffered there, with WalesOnline reporting on how the site in question was broken into over the festive period – some time between December 20 and January 3. The raiders made off with a valuable John Deere tractor and Bateson trailer, along with other items.

A spokesperson for the League One outfit has confirmed that a police report has been filed, with efforts being made to recover costs from insurers. A spokesperson for North Wales Police 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.”

Wrexham’s plans to build a new training facility have been hit with a number of problems, with initial building work having taken place before the relevant planning permissions were secured. A green light was given by Wrexham Council in December despite objections from neighbours regarding the supposedly “brutal” appearance of the scheme – which is taking place close to Darland High School in the village of Rossett.
