Re: Angry protesters staged a six-hour demonstration through the night after concerns a convicted criminal was living in their community.
Crowds of people chanting and setting fire to bins gathered in Gwilliam Court, in Monkton, Pembrokeshire, at 9.30pm on Tuesday.
Police were called and took two people from a property before the disturbance ended six hours later.
On Wednesday, about 100 protesters gathered outside a council office.
The crowd outside the office in Argyle Street, Pembroke Dock, were shouting and chanting about the situation in Monkton, with some saying they were not leaving until they had answers.
Dyfed-Powys Police said officers were present and "engaging with the community about their concerns". « less
