North Wales Police executed a Misuse of Drugs Act search warrant last Friday, 27th October, in Maesgeirchen, Bangor. Although no drugs were seized and no people were arrested, the property was subject of a temporary closure preventing its continued use as a suspected drugs house.
Inspector Llewellyn of North Wales Police said: “It’s hugely important we keep up the momentum of disrupting the gangs supply of drugs and protecting the most vulnerable. It’s also clear that we have huge support and assistance from our local communities who are fully behind what we are trying to achieve. This month has witnessed several drugs related searches, arrests and drugs seizures in the south and north of the county and this will continue to ensure the pressure is kept on those who cause the most harm. It is vitally important we listen to concerns from our local communities and where necessary take proportionate and positive action.
“Our goal of targeting those few in our communities who cause the most harm will continue and Operation Scorpion is directly targeting those involved in serious and organised crime.
“Possession and distribution of controlled drugs will not be tolerated and we will continue to take positive, robust action. However we can’t tackle this problem alone and key to all our work, and that of our partners, is intelligence and I cannot emphasise enough the importance of the community sharing their concerns and information with us. This can be passed on by contacting the Police control room direct via the web live chat http://www.north-wales.police.uk/contact/chat-support.aspx or phoning 101. If you’d rather pass information anonymously then phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
