🚨 **Major County Lines Crackdown Across South Wales** 🚨
In an intense week of action, nearly 80 arrests have been made as part of a sweeping crackdown on drug crime across South Wales. The massive operation dismantled eight drug lines, took dangerous weapons off the streets, and resulted in the seizure of significant amounts of drugs and cash.
Key successes of the operation included:
– **77 arrests** linked to drug-related crime
– **55 people safeguarded**, notably 41 under 18s
– Seizures of **580g of crack**, **455g of heroin**, and **3806g of cocaine**
– Confiscation of more than **£66,000 in cash**
– Seizure of **11 imitation firearms** and **7 bladed weapons**
Police teams worked tirelessly to not only nab offenders but to raise awareness among the public about the risks and tactics used by those exploiting vulnerable individuals to peddle drugs. Neighbourhood patrols were stepped up to keep communities informed and safe.
Detective Superintendent Matthew Cox emphasised the ongoing commitment to battling drug supply and exploitation. This crackdown aims to reassure the public of the relentless efforts being made to combat organised crime and protect those at risk.
👏 A huge thank you to our dedicated law enforcement teams and community allies for their efforts in making our streets safer. Remember, awareness is key—let’s stay vigilant and continue to look out for one another!
