Thieves targeted four businesses in April and made off with loot worth tens of thousands of pounds
Two men have been arrested in connection with a series of raids on businesses in south Gwynedd.
North Wales Police have been investigating the burglaries and executed warrants at three homes and two commercial premises in the Pontypool area of Gwent on Thursday.
Two men were arrested and have been taken to Caernarfon.
Sgt Neil Jones said: “Two men aged 30 and 38 years from the Gwent area have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglaries in the south Gwynedd area.
“They have been transferred to Caernarfon custody suite for questioning in relation to a series of serious acquisitive crime at commercial premises in South Gwynedd, which occurred on April 3 and 4.”
Clogau Motors in Dolgellau was one of the businesses hit by raiders in April.
Owner Jonathan Davies said thieves had taken “everything that was not bolted down”.
The Honda Garage at Talsarnau was also hit by thieves, who stole an electric blue Honda Civic Type R and a red Honda 125 motorcycle.
At Snowdonia Cycles in Llanbedr, high-end mountain bikes worth thousands of pounds were taken, along with children’s bikes, clothing, camping equipment and cash.
DJ Fruits on the Penamser Industrial Estate in Porthmadog also had cash taken.
A spokesman for North Wales Police said at the time that they were doing “all they can” to identify and arrest those responsible.
He said: “It must also be emphasised that we need assistance from our local communities to both reduce incidents of this nature in the first place and identify those responsible.
“Initial enquiries identify the offences occurred overnight and offenders will have used vehicles to aid their crime.”
Anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed suspicious behaviour is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
