Four men plead guilty over 'serious violence' outside Welshpool pub
Four men have pleaded guilty to offences in relation to "significant disorder" outside a Welshpool pub earlier this month.
The men were charged earlier this week after an incident outside The Angel pub, on Berriew Street in Welshpool.
The incident, which police said involved "serious violence", took place in the early hours of Sunday (July 13).
A spokesman for Dyfed Powys Police said: "At approximately 3.10am on Sunday, July 13, Dyfed-Powys Police received a report of a significant disorder outside the Angel public house, Berriew Street, Welshpool town centre.
"Serious violence was witnessed, and officers swiftly attended the scene.
"Expeditious enquiries led officers to arrest four individuals."
Four Welshpool men were charged over the incident: 21-year-old Troy Manuel, 21-year-old Ryan Jones, 18-year-old Kayden Manuel, and 19-year-old Jack Dixon.
They all appeared at Mold Magistrates Court yesterday (Thursday, July 17).
Dyfed-Powys Police said Troy and Kayden Manuel pleaded guilty to affray.
Jack Dixon pleaded guilty to affray, as well as possession of cocaine with intent to supply and possession of cannabis with intent to supply.
Ryan Jones admitted affray.
All will be sentenced at Mold Crown Court on August 7.
Dixon, Manuel, and Manuel were remanded, while Jones was granted conditional bail.
'This had a significant impact on the community'
Speaking following the court hearing, Chief Inspector Matthew Price said: “This successful outcome is the result of the proactivity and dedication of the Powys Priority Policing Team who worked very long hours to secure these charges.
"The incident had a significant impact on the community and therefore the team were determined to detain the suspects swiftly.
"They were also supported by a number of other departments and officers in this endeavour.
