Llandudno...'Arrest made after 'air gun attacks' as armed police swoop on Llanrhos street


We got this story online a day before the News Teams did! I hope that the person who did this is jailed, someone could have died, and what a terrifying thing to happen.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault and criminal damage following a large police incident in Llanrhos near Llandudno. Armed police surrounded a property on Wednesday evening following incidents in the area involving an air weapon.

North Wales Police officers including drone, dog, and armed units arrived in the area just after 5.30pm. The force later confirmed that a 36-year-old man had been arrested and remains in police custody.

A search warrant was carried out at an address on Bryn Lupus Road which resulted in the arrest. Police remain in the Llanrhos area but the public has been told that there is no cause for alarm.

Earlier this week, two people said they had been shot by an air rifle while picking blackberries in the Llanrhos area on Tuesday. The incident came just a day after a car traveling nearby was also the target of a suspected airgun attack. In another incident, a window was damaged at a house after loud bangs were heard outside.
