A man has since been arrested in connection with the incident at the Craft Beer Cave in Penrhyn Bay, Conwy, on Thursday evening.

The 42-year-old was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, driving without a licence, driving with no insurance, failing to stop and dangerous driving. He remained in police custody yesterday.

Bar owners Roland Edwards and Beverley Williams were clearing up after closing the bar when they heard the sound of a car braking. It was around 8.40pm. Beverley said: "I was chatting to three customers and we heard the sound of tyres screeching way before the car hit the building - it must have gone on for 10-15 seconds.
