First Minister Carwyn Jones’ home has been targeted with graffiti following the death of Welsh Government minister Carl Sargeant earlier this week.

Although the writing has now been cleaned away, police officers remained outside Mr Jones’ house in Bridgend today.

The nature of the graffiti has not been revealed.

Officers were called yesterday evening to the property.

A spokeswoman for South Wales Police said: “We have been made aware of an incident involving graffiti left at an address in Bridgend, on Thursday, November 9.

“Officers have visited the occupant of the address and enquiries are continuing.”

A spokesman for the First Minister said they did not wish to comment on security issues surrounding the First Minister.

Mr Jones has been under pressure following the apparent suicide of Carl Sargeant , the former Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children, on Tuesday.

There is widespread anger over the way Mr Sargeant was treated after he was told by the First Minister that he should step down from the Cabinet amid unspecified sexual harassment allegations made against him by a number of women.

At the time of his death, Mr Sargeant was still unaware of the details of the allegations, beyond the fact that they were in the category of “unwanted attention, inappropriate touching or groping”.

At a press conference yesterday Mr Jones promised to answer all questions Mr Sargeant's family may have.

This morning the National Assembly announced that it will resume business on Tuesday.

The plenary session will begin with tributes to Mr Sargeant.
