π¨ Major Gang Bust in Cardiff! π¨


A massive crackdown in the Butetown area has resulted in a staggering 518 arrests since late 2024. This operation, dubbed “Clear Hold Build,” is working wonders against organised crime, targeting those who have been causing chaos with daily drug dealing and violence.

π₯ The Impact So Far:
– 518 arrested
– 69 charged with drug trafficking
– 100 years of jail time combined, with more likely to come
– Major hauls of Class A and B drugs, cash, and weapons
South Wales Police are working relentlessly, and their efforts are finally paying off. Chief Superintendent Marc Attwell highlighted that the local community is feeling the difference. One resident even shared, “For the first time in 20 years I feel safe enough to walk around my community.β π
Inspector Gareth Handy assures us this isn’t just a temporary fix; the focus is on sustained community engagement to build a safer Butetown for everyone. The operation is a collaborative effort involving local law enforcement and the Home Office.
Letβs keep supporting the efforts to build a stronger and safer community. Share your thoughts in the comments! π
