The First Minister of Wales has personally thanked a team of police officers from North Wales for their acts of bravery.
Mair Eluned Morgan, Baroness Morgan of Ely, welcomed Sergeant Dylan Thomas, PC Rachael Roberts, PC Rob Burgess, PC Dion Hughes and PC Rob Williamson to her Cardiff office to convey her gratitude.
The officers’ act of bravey occurred when they responded to a 999 call from a woman who said her son had had a “massive blowout” and whom she was now in an escalated argument with.
Upon arrival at the proprty the team was faced by an aggressive man with a loaded gun.
As the incident unfolded, Sergeant Thomas found himself looking down the barrel of the gun which was aimed directly at him by a man stood at the top of the stairs inside the house.
After a partly effective Taser discharge, the male fell down the stairs and was promptly arrested. He was subsequently charged with possession of an air rifle with intent to cause fear of violence.
Firearms officers examined the rifle and noted it had been cocked and loaded with a pellet in the chamber ready to be fired.
“It was great to congratulate the Welsh National Police Bravery Awards nominees, and winners, and hear their amazing stories.
“It’s so important we recognise their efforts. Thank you for all your hard work within our communities to keep us safe.”
Mair Eluned Morgan, Baroness Morgan of Ely
