TWO men have been charged in connection with disorder offences at Stradey Park Hotel.
Joshua James Morris, 31, of Heol Gwili, Llanelli was charged with criminal damage and appeared at Llanelli Magistrates Court on October 6.
Peter May, 56, of Danygraig Road, Port Tennant, Swansea, was charged with obstructing a police officer and appeared at Swansea Magistrates Court on October 7.
There has been and will continue to be an increased police presence at the site, which Dyfed-Powys Police’s superintendent Ross Evans, said: “We appreciate that the heavy police presence can feel unnecessary, however, it is our assessment that the level of policing at the protest is necessary for public safety at this time.
“We are asking protestors to maintain the current peace at the site and appealing to them to consider the impact of their actions on the wellbeing of residents in the surrounding area.
“Please be mindful of these people, some of whom are fearful, who have no choice but to ensure the disruption to their home lives caused by the protest.
“I would also like to once again thank the policing team who have dealt with the disorder at the hotel site over the past week.
“Public safety remains our priority and we will continue to listen to and work with all parties.”
There is a dedicated investigation team looking into the events at the hotel in the past week and there are further arrests planned according to the force.
