Three men have been arrested on suspicion of drugs-related offences following the death of a 25-year-old man in Powys.<\/p>\n
Police said he died despite the efforts of paramedics called to a campsite near to the Royal Welsh showground at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Temporary Chief Supt Steve Davies said it was a “tragic incident, and our thoughts remain with the young man’s family at this difficult time”.<\/p>\n
Wales’ biggest annual agricultural festival, the Royal Welsh Show, is due to get under way on Monday.<\/p>\n
“I would like to reassure the public that this is an isolated incident and the death is currently being treated as unexplained,” said Davies.<\/p>\n
“There is no evidence of any ongoing risk to the wider public in connection with this sad incident.”<\/p>\n
Following the death, three men were arrested on suspicion of drug-related offences and remain in custody.<\/p>\n
Councillor Richard Church, Powys council’s cabinet member for a safer Powys, said it was a “deeply sad incident”.<\/p>\n
“The safety and wellbeing of residents, visitors and everyone attending the area during Royal Welsh Show week remains our highest priority,” he said. <\/p>\n
“We want everyone visiting the area to enjoy themselves, but please do so safely, look after each other and never be afraid to ask for help if you need it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three men have been arrested on suspicion of drugs-related offences following the death of a 25-year-old man in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":700107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-700106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=700106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/700107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=700106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=700106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=700106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
