“Large bricks” thrown at police cars on Ruthin Road

Update: More information has been disclosed around an incident on Ruthin Road earlier today, with bricks thrown at two police vehicles.

The road was closed off for a short period of time earlier this afternoon.

North Wales Police’s Roads Policing Unit have said, “Today a large brick was mindlessly thrown at one of our cars and another local police vehicle. The officers were simply going about their duty then BOOM, brick to the side of the car.

“The damage may not look severe but if this was a passenger window or windscreen it could have been a different story.”

“If anyone was driving along Ruthin Road this afternoon near the large gathering of trees close to the A483 and were also subject to this act of Criminal Damage, please get in touch.”

“If you have any dash camera footage as you were passing then please let us know.”

“Please share this far and wide so everyone that may have been in the area can help us out.”

Police released the above image of damage to one of the cars.
