Snowball fights banned in North Wales

Snowball fights have been banned in the region controlled by Britain's most controversial police chief after a youth was arrested for allegedly pelting a younger child with snowballs that were thought to have been refrozen to make them harder.

The force — whose chief Richard Brunstrom has been dubbed ‘The Traffic Taliban’ for his crusade against speeding motorists — announced the crackdown on snowball fights on Saturday, describing the winter pastime as ‘antisocial’. A spokesman said, “North Wales Police will endeavour to make patrols minimise incidents of antisocial behaviour, such as snowballing.”
