Commander pleased with safe Wales Nato summit

There were a total of 31 arrests related to the Wales Nato summit last week, the officer leading the operation has said.

The arrests were for offences including assaulting police and possession of offensive weapons.

Nine and a half thousand officers from around the UK were brought in for the week.

The commander of the policing operation said he was proud of the part they had played in delivering a safe summit.

Assistant Chief Constable Chris Armitt was asked if he was surprised there were not more arrests.
