"If anyone sees Mr Davidson or knows of his whereabouts, I'd ask that they contact police immediately, but under no circumstances should anyone approach him as he may be in possession of weapons," he said.

"I also want to reassure the public that every effort is being made to locate the suspect. There are increased reassurance patrols in and around the town and people will notice an active police presence as we carry out enquiries."

Properties in Vernon Street, in Rhosddu, and Lysfaen Road, in Old Colwyn, have been searched as part of the investigation.

A man, 35, and woman, 27, both from the Old Colwyn area, and a 27-year-old man from Wrexham were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
