AN 'EXTREMELY busy' weekend led to a 'constant demand' for police officers in Llangollen.
Anti-social behaviour, a crash, a hate-releated incident and disorder at pubs were among the incidents listed by North Wales Police.
Parking issues and a fight down by the river were also dealt with by police officers in the area.
The Denbighshire town was busier than usual given the heatwave and due to 'an influx of many visitors' to the area, according to police.

The incidents added further pressure to a weekend where police officers also had to deal with the discovery of a body in the River Dee on Saturday, August 13.
A statement from North Wales Police read: "It was an extremely busy weekend in Llangollen, with an influx of many visitors to the area.
"A number of officers were on patrol in the town all day, which saw a constant demand for a police presence at incidents, including some males fighting near the river, a hate-related incident, shoplifting, and parking matters.
"Whilst officers were dealing with all reports as they were coming in, there were also various other anti-social behaviour and miscellaneous crimes, as well an RTC, and disorder at Public Houses, all of which resulted in a high demand on police resources.
PIC: Police officers were kept on their toes in Llangollen over the weekend.
"Despite a proactive policing operation being implemented in anticipation of a busy weekend and the promised good weather, incidents that occur simultaneously can never be predicted, and officers worked hard to deal with the multiple challenges they faced.
"We are pleased to report that we received many positive comments regarding the town, from the visitors that we spoke to over the weekend. We remain committed in our goal of making north Wales the safest place in the UK."
Local Facebook page, Llan-Advocate Community, pleaded for more to be done to minimise crime and disruption in the town.
A post read: "Despite assurances of higher profile policing to curb antisocial behaviour, better visitor management and traffic enforcement officers in the locality, today saw reports of fighting, theft and abusive behaviour which finally resulted in a police presence in the town. And let’s not forget the littering down on the river too."
