Wales headlines 6 July: Goats return to Llandudno, funeral for Ely teenagers, and millions seized in drugs by crime unit

  • 10 months ago
Hundreds of people have lined the streets of Ely in remembrance of two boys who lost their lives after an alleged police chase in the area in May, with a procession of luxury cars and motorcycles. The deaths of 15 year old Harvey Evans and 16 year old Kyrees Sullivan led to a night of rioting, in which a number of local residents cars were destroyed.

Police forces covering South Wales have together seized over 8.7 million pounds worth of cannabis plants throughout the month of June alone. Tarian, the regional organised crime unit also made a total of 52 arrests, with assistant chief of the unit thanking those involved for their vital work in protecting communities.

Goats have been spotted once again roaming the streets of Llandudno, despite plans to remove them by the local council. The Great Orme goats first ventured into the town during lockdown, and have since been a regular fixture, but the local authority says they are exploring a number of relocation strategies.
