Protest in Cardiff on Monday, June 3

At around 3.40pm on Monday, June 3, a report was received of a protest involving 50 to 60 protestors on Boulevard de Nantes, near the junction with Park Place, in Cardiff city centre.

Officers were deployed to maintain public safety, facilitate peaceful protest, and minimise disruption to the wider community.

A 36-year-old man from Swansea was arrested on suspicion of wilful obstruction of the highway and conspiracy to commit public nuisance.

At 9.30pm a further spontaneous protest occurred in the front desk area of Cardiff Bay Police Station and 16 people were arrested on suspicion of violent behaviour at a police station.

No injuries were sustained by any protestors taking part, whether that was during the protest, in the course of an arrest, or during their time in custody.

All those arrested have since been released on police bail. Enquiries are ongoing.
