POLICE hunting the so-called "Wolfman" of Pantyffynnon tips say the trail has gone cold.

Officers investigating reports of a makeshift den in the woods say it had long since been abandoned.

They were responding to claims that the Wolfman's lair had been found.

"Eventually officers found an area which appeared to be an old camp site," said Insp Paul Williams.

"There were old food wrappings, some rubbish, even old shoes and junk.

"But all these were covered in mud and moss and it looked as if some of the stuff had been burnt.

"All the officers were agreed that the camp, if that's what it is, hasn't been used in a very, very long time."
