Published

A HAVERFORDWEST man has admitted failing to provide a specimen and driving without insurance, but denies drink-driving and careless driving allegations.

Jack Mills, 26, of Flat 11, Glebe House, Winch Lane, Haverfordwest, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (Jul 8).

The court heard that Mills admitted failing to provide a breath specimen for analysis at Cardigan on June 17, after being suspected of having driven a vehicle. He also admitted failing or refusing to provide a non-intimate sample for a Class A drug test while in police detention on the same date.

Mills also pleaded guilty to using a Ford Focus without third-party insurance at Bastleford, Rosemarket, on July 7.

He further indicated a guilty plea to fraudulently using a registration mark. The charge states that the Ford Focus’s correct registration was WL03 AHF, but it was being driven while displaying plates bearing the index T619 CKV.

However, Mills denied driving while over the alcohol limit at Rosemarket on July 7. The charge alleges he drove the Ford Focus on Bastleford, Rosemarket, with 44 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.

He also denied driving without due care and attention on the same road and date.

Mills was made subject to an interim disqualification and was remanded on unconditional bail.

He is due to appear before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on September 7 for a two-hour trial.

Police closed part of the road while paramedics treated an injured man at the scene

A MAN was taken to hospital after an incident on Marble Hall Road, Milford Haven, on Wednesday evening.

Police and paramedics attended the scene after reports that a man had been injured during an altercation.

A section of the road was closed while emergency services dealt with the incident, with a police road closure sign placed nearby.

The injured man, believed to be in his 30s, was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital for further assessment.

An eyewitness who stopped to help said the man had fallen backwards and struck his head on the road.

She said: “I was holding a towel to the back of his head and trying to keep him comfortable while I had the ambulance on the phone.

“He had been punched by another man and went straight down like an ironing board. He hit the back of his head on the road.”

Residents living nearby also came out to assist before emergency services arrived.

Police attended the scene and further details, including whether any arrests have been made, are awaited.

Young people urged to have their say on crime and policing in Dyfed-Powys

Published

on

YOUNG people across the Dyfed-Powys area are being encouraged to share their views on crime, safety and policing through a new survey launched by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Youth Ambassadors.

The survey is open to people aged 14 to 25 living in the Dyfed-Powys policing area and has been designed by the Youth Ambassadors as part of their new Future Youth Project.

It aims to capture the experiences, opinions and concerns of young people, helping to ensure their voices are heard in future decision-making, services and policing priorities.

The findings will be used to shape work aimed at better supporting young people and tackling the issues that matter most to them.

Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said: “Your opinion really does matter.

“I encourage all young people to take part in this survey. Young people’s feedback is essential in helping my Youth Ambassadors, my Office and Dyfed-Powys Police gather the opinions and concerns of our young people living in our communities.

“Let’s continue to work together to keep Dyfed-Powys safe for young people.”

The initiative places young people at the centre of the process and highlights the importance of youth voice in influencing positive change within communities.

Participants will also have the chance to enter a prize draw to win a Swansea City AFC shirt signed by Gonçalo Franco. The winner will be announced in September.

The survey is quick to complete and closes on September 25, 2026.
