Fishguard Police are offering a £500 reward after a Goodwick man was assaulted near his home on Sunday by a man in a balaclava hat demanding money.

Councillor Bryn Colnet, former Mayor of Fishguard and Goodwick, had closed up at The Railwaymens Club, Fishguard, after a bingo evening on Sunday. On reaching his home in Prescelly Crescent, Stop and Call, at 9.45 pm he was approached by a man wearing a balaclava. The man demanded money from Mr Colnet, who refused to hand over any property. A struggle ensued and the offender eventually ran off empty handed. Mr Colnet received minor injuries but did not need hospital treatment. The offender is described as white, of stocky build, wearing a dark coloured balaclava with eyelets.

Anyone with any information in relation to this incident is requested to contact Fishguard police station on 01348 873225. The £500 reward will be given after the arrest and conviction of the offender.
