Children at two schools found themselves in lockdown today after reports of a person carrying an axe.

Numerous police vehicles were seen heading to the Anglesey port town of Holyhead, including armed officers. Both Ysgol Gymraeg Morswyn and Ysgol Kingsland were put in lockdown. Parents of children at the primary schools told of getting texts saying the measure was being put in place. North Wales Police has since said the lockdowns have been lifted.

The force said: "We have received unconfirmed reports of a person seen carrying an axe in the Kingsland area of Holyhead. Patrols have since been undertaken in this area, and searches remain ongoing to establish the circumstances of the reports."
In an update shared this afternoon, police said a woman has been arrested. North Wales Police said: "A local woman in her twenties has been arrested on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon following earlier reports of a person seen carrying an axe in Holyhead.

"We would thank all those who have contacted us with information. We appreciate the level of concern that this has caused, and we would reassure the community that officers remain on foot patrol in the local area.
"As a live investigation is ongoing, we would ask the public not to speculate on the circumstances of the incident."

District Inspector Wayne Francis said earlier: "There continues to be a visible police presence in Holyhead this afternoon for reassurance purposes. I would emphasise that no reports of any threats against members of the public have been made to us. Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with further information can contact us via our website or by calling 101, quoting reference C144229.”

Anglesey County Council confirmed Ysgol Gymraeg Morswyn and Ysgol Kingsland "were placed into a precautionary lockdown" and this was "following a specific concern in the local area".
It continued: "The lockdown measures were in place for a very short period, and both schools reopened and resumed normal operations once North Wales Police confirmed that it was safe to do so.

"Throughout this period, both schools followed the established lockdown guidelines and procedures. Staff acted swiftly and appropriately, with the safety and wellbeing of pupils and staff remaining the priority at all times.

"Anglesey County Council would like to thank pupils, parents, staff, and the wider school community for their cooperation and understanding. We are also grateful to North Wales Police for their prompt support and reassurance."
