'Violence with weapons' reported at Welsh seaside resort

Police have extra powers to stop and search people after "violence with weapons" on Friday in a Welsh seaside resort.

Officers from North Wales Police were granted section 60 stop and search powers in an area of Rhyl until 6pm on Sunday. The force said residents in parts of Rhyl, Denbighshire, may also see more officers on the streets.

"This presence seeks to reassure Rhyl residents and send a message to those committing violence offences with weapons that a robust response will be made," a police spokesman said. Officers believe a spate of "violence related" incidents in Rhyl on Friday evening may be linked to other incidents.
