Police later confirmed additional officers in protective clothing were called after a number of missiles were thrown.

Superintendent Owain Llewellyn said: “Our priority was ensuring the safety of people in the area and there was at one point a large number of officers there whilst we worked to calm the situation which had escalated quickly.

"Missiles were thrown at officers, although thankfully none were injured, but damage was caused to cars and property.

“I appreciate that our presence on this scale and in protective clothing will have caused local concern and thank people for their patience whilst we worked to resolve the situation.

"Officers will remain in the area overnight whilst our investigations continue and I would appeal to anyone with information to contact us on 101."
