A MAN complained to police because they wouldn't help him get back into a venue he'd been "ejected" from, an Inspector has said.

Wrexham City Police deal with all kinds of situations every day.

Inspector Luke Hughes, who leads the team, shared details of some of the 40 calls officers received in the 24 hours leading up to Tuesday morning.

These included:

  • A call from a concerned member of the public reporting youths acting in "an intimidating manner", some with hoods up covering their faces. Officers attend and discussed - inquiries ongoing 
  • A male was seen riding in an antisocial manner on a quad bike. An area search was undertaken but there were no further sightings. Insp Hughes said officers will increase patrols in that area as "it is happening often."
  • Report of suspicious / abandoned vehicle. Officers attended and confirmed it hasn’t moved for around a month but is not reported stolen – inquiries are ongoing to trace the owner.
  • Report of a collision involving a female and a vehicle. Officers attend – causality made way to hospital with family. Insp Hughes said follow up is required as to the extent of the injury and circumstances that led to collision, but the outcome was not life threatening or life changing".

A number of calls were made in the evening through into the early hours of Tuesday morning as well.
These included:

  • A female "causing issues" at licensed premises in the city centre – officers attended but no immediate action was required.
  • A male seen unconscious in the street, "either intoxicated or unwell". He left prior to officers arriving, "having been abusive to ambulance staff."
  • Report of males breaking into the Co-op in Borras. Officers make an immediate response but confirm it was contractors at the scene and stood down. Insp Hughes said: "Well intentioned call. Thank you, I would rather officers attend ten of these than miss a genuine call."
  • A male who was "unhappy as he has been ejected from a late night venue" in the town, and wanted officers to "assist him to get back in". Insp Hughes said he was "told in no uncertain terms to go home" but "contacts us again wanting to make complaint about officers for not helping him." The inspector added: "I have no words…. It’s a thankless task sometimes."
