Extra patrols in town as police continue hunt for answers after shocking railway station violence

BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE say their investigation into the violent disorder at Tenby railway station is moving forward quickly, with five people now arrested in connection with the incident.

Four teenagers, aged between 13 and 17, were injured when violence broke out at the station late on Tuesday, April 7. All were taken to hospital, but police said their injuries were not life-threatening.

The incident, which sent shockwaves through the town, happened at around 9.50pm and involved a number of youths. The injured teenagers are understood to be from the Pembroke area.

Two people — a 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man — were first arrested following the disorder. Officers have since confirmed that both were released on bail while enquiries continue.

A further three teenagers were later detained on Thursday, April 9 on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and violent disorder. They too have been bailed pending further investigation.

Police have stressed that the case remains active and that officers are continuing to gather evidence.

British Transport Police Superintendent Jonathon Cooze said officers were aware of the alarm caused by the violence and said more patrols would be seen in the area.

He said: “We know this incident has caused significant concern in Tenby and further afield, and I want to reassure the public that detectives are working hard to establish exactly what happened.

“We have now made five arrests in total, and enquiries are continuing at pace.

“We would still like to hear from anyone who saw the incident, or who may have information about the events leading up to it.”

Anyone with information is being asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 916 of April 7.

Officers are continuing to work alongside Dyfed-Powys Police, Transport for Wales and other agencies as part of the response.

The incident has renewed concern about knife violence involving young people in Pembrokeshire.

ELIZABETH COURT SCENE STOOD DOWN AFTER DOMESTIC INCIDENT

A FOUR-HOUR police standoff in Pembroke Dock has ended with a 21-year-old man arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the incident at Elizabeth Court has now been stood down and the scene released.

The man has been taken to hospital to receive medical attention.

Chief Inspector Dominic Jones said: “I want to thank local residents for their patience while we dealt with this incident. I understand that such a large police presence in a residential street is concerning to see, and I’m grateful to everyone who co-operated with our officers at the scene.

“I’d like to offer my reassurance that our units responded to an isolated domestic incident, and there was no further threat posed to the wider community. The scene has now been released, and we will investigate the full circumstances of this morning’s incident.”

Officers were called to the address this morning (Saturday, May 9), with a large police presence remaining in the area for several hours.

Eyewitnesses told The Herald that police were asking a man upstairs to come down, with tasers drawn during the incident.

TEENAGER REMANDED AHEAD OF JULY TRIAL

A 15-YEAR-old boy has denied attempting to murder a teacher during a stabbing incident at Milford Haven School.

The teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Friday (May 8).

He pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and unlawful wounding with a knife.

The charges relate to an incident at Milford Haven School on Thursday, February 5, when emergency services were called after reports that a teacher had been assaulted by a pupil carrying a weapon.

The school was placed into lockdown and pupils were later safely evacuated.

The injured teacher was taken to hospital with stab wounds, but was discharged later the same day.

Police said at the time that specialist officers were supporting the victim and the wider school community.

The teenager was remanded in custody following Friday’s hearing.

A trial is due to begin on July 6.
