Dramatic footage captured the moment a Deeside robber hurled slates at police and set his trousers on fire during a rooftop stand-off.

Sam Nicholas Allan, 30, threw slates off the roof of a Connah's Quay newsagents' shop at officers below.

High on drink and drugs, he was bare-chested despite the cold and later took his trousers off, setting them alight and waving them about.

The stand-off was captured by police body cameras before Allan, 30, was arrested.
