A MAN has been arrested in connection with two arson offences in the Colwyn Bay/Rhos-on-Sea area.

The incidents of suspected arson took place in the early hours yesterday (September 27).

A police investigation is ongoing, but they said they have no reason to believe any further incidents will take place.

A North Wales Police spokesperson said: “As many people living locally will be aware two incidents of suspected arson took place in the Colwyn Bay/Rhos on Sea area in the early hours of the morning on September 27.

As a result of proactive police work and our partners in Conwy Council CCTV an adult male, not from the North Wales area, was arrested very quickly for these offences.

“The investigation is continuing but at this time we have no reason to believe that any further such incidents will take place.”
