POLICE carrying out two separate raids in Carmarthen­shire have seized items including hundreds of grams of cannabis, nearly £2,000 in cash and a fake gun.

Officers executed the drug warrants at properties in Dan y Bryn in Pembrey and Llys y Llyfrgell in Burry Port on Friday.

Items recovered from the properties included 738g of cannabis, a quantity of a substance believed to be amphetamin­e, 170 packets of what is believed to be a psychoacti­ve substance, cash totalling more than £1,800, an imitation firearm and drugs parapherna­lia.

Images released by police show a number of officers carrying out the raids with equipment including a battering ram, and at one of the addresses a door appears to have been smashed through.

Images also show several bags of seized items which were located at the properties, containing drugs, cash and other parapherna­lia.

Sergeant Gemma Davies of Dyfed-powys Police said: “I hope this positive action reassures the community that we are taking measures to target those involved in drug use and criminalit­y and we will continue our efforts to keep the public safe.
