A primary school has decried ‘what is the world coming to’ after children were offered drugs on their way home from school.

Police were called on Wednesday afternoon after children heading home from Ysgol y Gorlan in Tremadog were offered 'various drugs' down the 'Cyt' - a footpath between Tremadog and Porthmadog.

Ysgol y Gorlan said: "Thank you to the Police for responding immediately to our concerns regarding adults offering various drugs to children down the 'Cyt' ( footpath from Tremadog to Port). What is the world coming to?"
