Three teenagers were arrested on suspicion of theft after police received reports of people on the roof of an abandoned hotel in Conwy on Saturday night. According to North Wales Live, police cordoned off Clonmel Street in Llandudno shortly before 5pm on Saturday 4th March.

An armed unit of the armed forces was also reported to be near the hotel, although no weapons were found there. An officer behind the hotel was also seen on a nearby roof keeping watch over the hotel.
