Police have sent a clear message to drug dealers who “spread their misery” in Gwynedd, that they will be found and prosecuted and to think “very carefully” before coming to the area.
In the last two days North Wales Police officers, in partnership with North West Regional Organised crime Unit and British Transport Police have conducted six search warrants and carried out patrols and stop searches in and around Bangor.
Yet again, significant amounts of cash, drugs and weapons, including a ‘knuckle duster’ and a hammer, have been seized. In total there have been nine arrests for drug supply offences.
Five people have been arrested today, Wednesday 13 November, for drug supply offences, with significant amounts of class A drugs recovered including a 16 year old who will be offered support and protection from the relevant agencies.
Detective Sergeant Dafydd Curry said:” The message is clear: this is not a ‘flash in the pan’ operation, we are here to stay.
“If you come to Gwynedd to deal drugs, we will find you and prosecute you. Consider carefully whether coming here to deal drugs is wise.
“Our record of identifying and apprehending those who come here to spread their misery suggests you probably won’t be operating here for very long.”
