“REPEATED criminal damage” has been reported at Yr Wyddfa.

Police say the damage has been made to fences and stone walls in various areas on land between Rhyd Ddu Railway Station and Yr Wyddfa - particularly in the area surrounding the Rhyd Ddu path.

PC Michelle Allsup, of North Wales Police’s rural crime team, said: “This mindless act of damage has not only meant a significant financial impact on the victims who will need to repair the damage, but has also meant that livestock were able to escape and make their way towards the railway and road which could have been catastrophic.

“If anyone has any information in relation to this, please contact the rural crime team on 101, quoting reference number 24000921956.”
