ORIGINAL STORY & UPDATES:

A man is angrily refusing to leave a roof on Rivulet Road this afternoon, ignoring police requests to come down.

UPDATE 2:04pm: The man is publishing video himself from the roof, containing audio of him being abusive to the people below. There is a screenshot from the video below, however we will not be publishing the video.

UPDATE 2pm: Video from the scene…

UPDATE 1:50pm: It appears there are two people on the roof, and with various offensive hand gestures being made towards police below there seems to be no intention of leaving it as of yet.

Original information below…

The man has gained entry to the roof area by the Powerzone Gym on Rivulet Road in Wrexham, close to where new lockup units have been built.

We are told the man is ‘shouting abuse’ at the police and throwing ‘items’ from the roof as he wanders about above.

The road is currently closed off by police with all exits to the surrounding buildings appearing to be secured.

North Wales Police confirm they were called to a report of a man on a roof at 12:18pm, with the man refusing to come down.

The above pictures were taken by a Wrexham.com reader at around 12:30pm, with the top picture sent to us by Connor.
