Following an assault on a police officer in Towyn last night, we are requesting the assistance of the community and are appealing to witnesses or those who may be involved to come forward with more information.
An officer was called to reports of a number of individuals on off road bikes congregated around Towyn Prom, to the rear of Golden Sands Caravan Park last night (Friday 1st October). It is thought they were present at the location between 7pm and 9pm.
The officer was assaulted at the scene and has sustained injuries.
Detective Sergeant Taylor-Jones said: “We come to work to serve and protect the public - every day we deal with very difficult and challenging situations, putting ourselves in harm’s way to uphold the law and protect the public.
“We must be able to carry out our duties as safely as possible - being assaulted is not and should never be regarded as ‘part of the job’.
“We’d appeal to members of the community to come forward with any information they may have about this incident.”
If you have any information, please call 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously via 0500 555 111, quoting reference number 21000683402.
