Police ask for dashcam footage after “bottles and stones” thrown at cars on Ruthin Road

Police have asked for dashcam footage as they continue an investigation after several vehicles were damaged on Ruthin Road on Friday and Saturday.

In a statement North Wales Police said, “We are appealing for information and dash-cam footage as we investigate numerous incidents of criminal damage and anti-social behaviour on the A525 Ruthin Road close to the junction with the A483 at the weekend.”

“The Force received more than 20 calls about bottles and stones been thrown on to the A525 and the A483 with several passing cars being damaged, including two vehicles which had windows smashed.”

Temporary Inspector Mike Norbury said: “This criminal anti-social behaviour is extremely dangerous and irresponsible and very frightening for motorists.

“We will not tolerate it and an investigation is underway. We attended the location on Friday and Saturday and will continue to monitor the situation.”

“In the meantime I am appealing for any witnesses and anyone with dash-cam footage who travelled past the area between Friday afternoon May 29 and late Saturday night May 31 to contact us .”

There have been numerous posts on social media relating to that timeframe and location, reporting large gatherings of people along with damage to vehicles, along with reports police had also closed roads temporarily.

Just had a phone call from the Mrs. A bottle was thrown at her car from the Gypsy site in Ruthin Rd @wrexham, exactly what she wanted after a 12 hour shift in the Maelor 🙃. Be careful if heading that way, think they're having a party.
