A NORTH Wales Police officer will appear in court following an Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigation into the use of force on a teenager.
Police Constable Ellis Thomas, 24, is due before Llandudno Magistrates’ court on Wednesday, April 17, to face a charge of grievous bodily harm against a 17- year-old boy.
It relates to an incident which took place on 29 January 2023 outside the Cube Nightclub in Bangor.
A statement by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said: "The IOPC’s investigation began in February 2023 after a complaint referral was submitted by North Wales Police. At the end of our five-month investigation, we sent a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service, which has since authorised the charge against the officer.
"North Wales Police has informed us that the officer remains on restricted duties."
