The group claims to have received a tip-off about two Nigerian criminals wanted by Interpol, hiding at the Llandudno house.

The policemen said some people inside the house ran when they saw them approaching, and they could not identify the wanted criminals.

They then searched the house and found empty boxes of expensive watches, but the officers denied stealing any jewellery at the house.
