British cops arrest man in ‘fake admiral’ Armistice event probe

Llandudno Town Council, which organized last weekend’s event, told the BBC that nobody of that rank had been expected at the ceremony.

Council representative Greg Robbins told the broadcaster: “This individual did not disrupt the ceremony, but we are keen to know who he was, and will be working with the Ministry of Defence on its investigation.”

North Wales Police Chief Inspector Trystan Bevan told The Sun newspaper Friday: “Our enquiries into this incident are currently ongoing.

“We can confirm that, during a search of the male’s address earlier today, a naval uniform and a selection of medals were recovered from within.

“Further updates on this investigation will be provided when available.”

A spokesperson for the U.K. Ministry of Defence said: “Impersonating a Naval officer is insulting to anyone connected to the service and can be considered a criminal offense.”
