Four people have been arrested over the weekend following an incident in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
At around 5pm on October 16th, it was reported a man had been assaulted shortly after 7am that day in the Cromwell Street area.
Following investigations, officers searched the address on Saturday, October 26th and seized weapons and a quantity of suspected class A drugs.
Three people were subsequently arrested on suspicion of wounding, affray, possession of offensive weapons and possession of class A drugs.
A fourth person was arrested on suspicion of having offensive weapons in a private dwelling and possession of class B drugs.
They have since been bailed with conditions whilst police enquiries continue.
District Inspector Iwan Jones said: “I would like to thank residents for their support and understanding whilst police dealt with this incident in Blaenau Ffestiniog over the weekend.
“I understand the presence of firearms officers can cause concern in the community, but I would like to reassure that it was an isolated incident with no threat to the wider community.
“Local officers will continue to patrol the local area for reassurance purposes.
“Anyone with information about the incident on October 16th who hasn’t already spoken to officers is encouraged to contact police.”
