That incident shows you how a certain type of person will not heed the advice of the Government and full marks to the Police for stopping the vehicle and seizing the car
Just a shame that the other passengers were not fined and the Police find the source of the party 

My wife had a phone conversation with a friend just now and the friend alleged that the Police were taking notes of number plates of cars cars on the West Shore and it could be people going there to walk their dogs or just for the start of their daily exercise

Coronavirus: Stop bombarding North Wales Police 999 and 101 lines with queries about dog walking        refDP
Chief constable, Carl Foulkes says the force is being overwhelmed with general Covid-19 calls which are getting in the way of real emergencies


North Wales Police's top cop today urged the public to stop bombarding the 999 and 101 lines with calls about coronavirus. 

Chief constable Carl Foulkes issued the desperate plea as he revealed the force control room has been overwhelmed with people asking for general advice about Covid-19, as the outbreak takes hold.

Mr Foulkes said the volume of calls are preventing control room staff from answering genuine emergencies

The most common call is from dog owners asking if they are allowed to drive to a destination to walk their pet.

"The most common question is people asking if they can drive somewhere to walk their dog and...... the answer is no.

Re: Police News & Announcements............St David's Hospice break in

Lowest of the low, bad enough at anytime............I thought the XXXXXXX who slashed the tyre's in CYD were bad.

t saddens us to report that we have discovered our St David's Hospice Donation Centre in Mochdre has been broken in to and extensive damage has been caused.

It is estimated that we have lost thousands of pounds worth of items including; designer clothes, electrical goods, and jewellery, which would have been sold raise essential funds.

This adds to the loss of earnings due to the recent closure of the 26 Hospice Shops due to Covid-19.

Trystan Pritchard, Chief Executive said:
“It’s extremely hurtful that someone would target the Hospice at this incredibly difficult time. We are fighting for our survival as we have lost most of our income because of the current coronavirus crisis. This will make it even harder for us to find enough funds to care for local people at the end of their life.”
Our Warehouse Assistant Tracy appeals to the local community for their support:

Photographs from the break-in at our Donation Centre in Mochdre. So upsetting.

I believe over £3000 has already been raised by FB donations

Is that the second break in in recent times?       Words cannot describe the contempt that any decent person would feel about the scum who did that act

Rogue trader warning
Thursday 23 Apr 2020

Police are advising people to be aware of rogue traders who have been delivering flyers in the area.

The warning comes after people in the Old Colwyn and Colwyn Bay areas were targeted this week.

Thankfully no work was undertaken by the two men who were found touting for business. They were spoken to by police and reported for breaching COVID19 legislation.

Insp Daf Curry said: “We would advise people not to respond to these flyers and only to use reputable traders.”

The contract of North Wales’ Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner will not be renewed after four years in the role, it has been confirmed.

Appointed in 2016 to assist Arfon Jones shortly after his election to the post, Ann Griffith is also a former Anglesey county councillor for the Bro Aberffraw ward.

But in a statement today, Arfon Jones confirmed that Ms Griffith’s contract for the £42,000-a-year post would not be renewed, adding that he would continue without a deputy for the remaining 12 months until the May 2021 election, postponed for a year due to the lockdown.

This will be a tricky one for the Police to sort out:-
Travellers who shouldn't be travelling and who shouldn't be breaking in to private property

Will the Police issue lockdown fines and then check the vehicles for tax etc etc?

RHOS-on-Sea residents are being urged to be vigilant of potential scammers in the area.

North Wales Police has received reports of two men claiming to be from a window fitting company visiting a number of properties on Monday, June 29.

They managed to ask one elderly resident for payment to be made up front using a card machine, however thankfully, the bank raised suspicion and put a stop to the transaction.

A spokesperson for the force's West Conwy Coastal team said: "They are believed to be travelling in a blue coloured Range Rover. One male is wearing a suit and speaks with a Manchester accent and the other male has blonde hair.
