Shop owner Thomas James said that "virtually everything" in the gift shop was destroyed, leaving him "tired, angry and upset".

"I'm so sorry for the artists who believed in me to bring their business to Oswestry. I'm broken," he said on Facebook.

West Mercia Police confirmed that the two people inside the car have not yet been found.

Police said they were reviewing CCTV footage after the crash and appealed for witnesses who saw the pair flee scene late on Sunday night

The force said that a thorough investigation was ongoing, with CCTV footage being reviewed and they also appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

"We sympathise with the owners and those that work there and are doing everything possible to identify and prosecute the individuals responsible," the force added.
