'Police incident' closes Welshpool road for several hours
A main road into Welshpool was closed for several hours this morning due to a police incident.
Police cars and ambulances have been seen on the A458 Berriew Street near the Morrisons store, with the road closed south of the supermarket.
Traffic Wales posted on X, formerly Twitter, to say: "The A458 between Welshpool and Coed y Dinas is closed until further notice following a police incident. Please avoid the area and use an alternative route.”
One witness reported seeing at least three ambulances, a first responder vehicle and two police cars on Berriew Street between Morrisons and the junction for Oldford Rise.
The road was reopened shortly after 11.30am.
Dyfed-Powys Police has been contacted for comment.
Welshpool is also hosting a 1940s event this weekend which has closed other roads in the town centre.
