Victoria Pub, Caerleon Road, landlady talks of misiniformation shock
Caerleon Road in Newport was cordoned off on Sunday night, from Duckpool Road to The Victoria Pub, while emergency services dealt with an alleged incident. The stretch of road did not open again until the following morning. However, landlady of The Victoria Pub is keen to stress the pub had nothing to do with the alleged incident and it's a safe pub for the community and for families. The pub operators have been left reeling after 'wild speculation' on social media, following two Sunday evening arrests on Caerleon Road, some 200 yards away from the pub. Maria Idun, a longstanding Caerleon Road resident, said: "It's a lovely pub. I can say that as a woman, I have no fear going into that pub. It's lovely, welcoming and safe.' The neighbourly comment came as the pub was opening as usual and began to serve regulars at midday, Monday June 15. Landlady Sian Davies, who has been running the pub for fifteen years, said: 'I have no idea where all the speculation came from. Nothing happened in this pub yesterday. 'We would always assist anyone who is injured, that's all part of us being a good community pub.' She further explained that the misinformation in media and on social media could stop some people from coming to the pub, which is a major concern. The speculation followed the arrest of two men on Caerleon Road, following an incident at an intersection with Duckpool Road on Sunday evening. A 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 33 year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray. Police were continuing to conduct door-to-door enquiries on Monday morning and into the afternoon, along Caerleon Road. Detective Chief Inspector Ellen Joslyn, the senior investigating officer, said: "We understand seeing a large number of officers in the area may cause some concern, but we believe there is no ongoing threat to the public. "If you have any concerns, then please do stop and talk with us." Anyone who witnessed the alleged altercation or has relevant information, including CCTV or dashcam footage, can contact us via our website, call us on 101 or send us a direct message on our Facebook or X social media channels, quoting log reference 2500188993.
