RSPCA officers have descended on a troubled North Wales animal shelter.

It is understood they are removing animals from the Capricorn Rescue centre near Buckley.

The centre was taken over by the Charity Commission earlier this year after concerns were raised over how the centre was being run.

A statutory probe was launched to look at 'governance of the charity, potential unauthorised trustee benefit and whether trustees have been poorly exercising their responsibilities under trustee law'.

This morning, a number of RSPCA vehicles arrived at the centre and it is understood they have been removing animals from the centre.

We will bring you all the latest on this developing story and are awaiting a statement from the RSPCA.
