‘As I was passing, I saw someone pull up in an unmarked vehicle and begin to suit up in riot gear – he was putting on something to protect his neck and it looked like he has some sort of a riot shield.
‘It caused quite a commotion on the street.’
A police spokesman said: ‘Officers attended an uninsured vehicle in Pool Street Caernarfon, and whilst attempting to effect its removal, a woman was arrested for assaulting a police officer and a man was arrested for a public order offence.’
