ARMED officers were called to an incident of disorder at Rhyl High School earlier today (Thursday, May 15).

At 3pm, police attended an incident alongside Authorised Firearms Officers due to the number of people involved. 

In a recent statement, a spokesperson confirmed: "At 15:00 today, North Wales Police were called to respond to an incident of disorder at Rhyl High School.

"Given the amount of people involved, the incident was resourced by a number of North Wales Police Officers including Authorised Firearms Officers who were in the area.

"We understand that members of the community may have seen the officers who assisted their colleagues in bringing the incident to a safe conclusion but want to assure the public that at no point were the officers deployed in their capacity as Armed Officers or with authority to use their weapons."

There are no further details to report at this time.
