Penmaenmawr man arrested after statue damage in Caernarfon
On Tuesday (July 1), North Wales Police were made aware that damage had been caused to the statue, which is situated on the Maes in the town. The 38-year-old man, who is from the Penmaenmawr area, was arrested yesterday (July 3) on suspicion of criminal damage. He has since been released with strict bail conditions while inquiries continue. The graffiti on the statue has since been removed. Lloyd George remains the UK's only Welsh Prime Minister.
