A Pwllheli man has appeared in court following an overnight standoff with armed police.

Specialist firearms officers, negotiators and a drone unit were called to a property in the Afonwen area, following reports of threats at around 5pm on Saturday evening.

North Wales Police said the address was contained until 6am the following morning, when a man inside was safely detained.

Philip Blakemore (30) of Y Ffor, Pwllheli, was charged with harrassment without violence, breaching a domestic abuse protection order, criminal damage and sending 'grossly offensive' communication.

He was remanded in custody by Llandudno magistrates and will appear in court again on Thursday.
