Seven incidents of arson have been reported in the past two months in Old Colwyn.

North Wales Police are urging residents to be vigilant following these spates of arsons in the area.

PCSO 3901 Rachel Roberts said: “We have seen a large increase in the number of arsons reported and believe four of these fires are linked as they have all involved wheelie bins.”

“Officers have increased patrols in the area in a bid to reassure the public and we are asking everyone to be vigilant and to report any suspicious behaviour.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101.
