brynHERALD NEWS UPDATE

A press statement released by Dyfed Powys Police this afternoon states:

“Dyfed-Powys Police have now fully considered the three Public Interest Reports published on 30th January 2014 by Wales Audit Office, into matters relating to Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire County Councils.

“As a result, the Force has decided that it is a matter which should be investigated in the public interest by the Police, to ascertain whether or not any criminal offences have taken place.

“Due to the close working relationships and partnership arrangements that exist between Dyfed-Powys Police and both local authorities, it is not appropriate for the Force to carry out the enquiry.  As such the matter has been referred to Gloucestershire Constabulary who will undertake the investigation.

“Dyfed-Powys Police would like to make it absolutely clear that this decision has been taken by the Police alone, and has in no way been influenced by political commentary or media reporting on this issue.”

The news comes before the Extraordinary Council Meeting to discuss the Wales Audit Office report due to be held this Friday, February 14.

With the World Anti-Doping Agency having removed CBD from its prohibited list, more athletes feel assured adding it into their schedule.
