A man has been charged after a farmers’ protest involving tractors outside the office of a Welsh government minister.
North Wales Police said they were called to a report that a number of vehicles were blocking a road in Wrexham on Monday afternoon.
The force received the report shortly after 2.10pm that Rhosddu Road was being blocked as part of an organised protest.
Videos shared on social media showed a number of tractors outside the office of the Welsh government’s rural affairs minister, Lesley Griffiths.
Police said the man has been charged with criminal damage.
He is due to appear at Wrexham Magistrates’ Court on 27 February.
The force confirmed the vehicles on Monday had been moved on.

“Early positive action was taken to deal with an isolated incident of criminal damage and a man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
“The protest has now dispersed, and North Wales Police will continue to monitor the situation.”
