Dyfed Powys Police is investigating allegations of online inflammatory and racists posts in connection with the protests being held in Penally.

A 36-year-old male was arrested on Saturday morning (October 10) on suspicion of racially aggravated section 4 Public order offences and has been released on bail with conditions, whilst police continue their investigation.

It is believed that the man (who it is understood is not from the Pembrokeshire area) was arrested relating to activity on Friday night, ahead of the planned protest on Saturday morning against the repurposing of the camp by the Home Office to house asylum seekers.

Police are reminding all users of social media are to be mindful of the language used when publishing their posts.

Superintendent Anthony Evans said: “ I would encourage anyone who is a victim of hate crime or witnesses a hate related incident to come forward and report it.

“I can reassure the public that racially aggravated crime is taken seriously and action will be taken where possible to bring offenders to justice.”
