🚨 Major crackdown on cross-border drug operation! 🚨
In an intense series of raids, police have taken a major step in busting a drug network operating between Merseyside and Welsh towns. Officers executed nine search warrants across locations like Caerleon, Bettws, Maindee, Rhyl, and Liverpool.
Here’s the lowdown: Seven men are now in custody, suspected of being involved in the supply of Class A drugs, including notorious substances like heroin and cocaine. During the raids, authorities seized suspected Class A and B drugs, cash, and mobile phones that are believed to play a role in the illegal operation.
This significant breakthrough is part of Operation Oldfield, led by Gwent Police to tackle the illegal drug trade across the region. Detective Inspector Ian Bartholomew emphasises the impact: “We’ve hit a major drug line and disrupted the flow into our communities. Our dedicated team continues to stand against those who harm our society with illegal drugs.”
