A local resident complained an 'endless stream' of holiday makers were driving along a country lane in North Wales 'looking confused' after a phantom location pin appeared on Google Maps

Shoppers and a delivery driver have been left short-changed after they headed to a phantom Aldi store deep in the countryside. The driver of a large milk tanker that became stranded was among the victims deceived by the ‘pin’ in rural north Wales.

Aldi shoppers and even delivery drivers have been led astray by a phantom 'Aldi store' in the middle of the Denbighshire countryside. Last week a large milk tanker became stranded on a country lane and had to be rescued.

Villagers in Cyffylliog in Denbighshire, said a stream of cars have recently come through the area and a milk tanker became stuck after Google Maps said Aldi had a store there. The village has a population of about 500 and while some residents acknowledged the funny side of the mishap, others said it was very "serious".

A joker single-handedly added an Aldi branch in Wales on Google Maps. And this was followed quite immediately by a rush of motorists, and even an Aldi milk vendor got stuck in the small agricultural road in this remote corner of Wales.
