Wayne David is Caerphilly MP and Labour’s Shadow Minister for Europe Plaid Cymru and Labour have reported each other to the police over a dispute about Welsh assembly election placards.
Plaid reported Caerphilly Labour MP Wayne David for allegedly taking down placards from residents’ gardens without permission.
Labour in turn accused Plaid of “illegal fly-posting” as part of a campaign of “dirty tactics”.
Gwent Police said they were looking into “reports of electoral irregularities in the Caerphilly area”.
Plaid said Mr David was seen by party members with a number of their placards in his car and is demanding a police investigation.
A Labour spokesman said that the claims were “nonsense”.
He said local Labour activists had removed the Plaid posters “at the explicit request of angry residents” before handing them “to the police as evidence of Plaid’s illegal activity”.
Labour claimed the dispute was the culmination of “weeks worth of Plaid wrongly putting up posters on public property”.
