Three arrests after police drugs raid on town address
THREE men have been arrested following a drugs raid in Llanelli.
The men, one from Llanelli and two from Merseyside, have been released under investigation.
The warrant is the latest incident in Dyfed-Powys Police’s war against drugs in the town.
There were a total of 38 heroin-related deaths in the space of 42 months in Llanelli, prompting the Operation Ulysses drug crackdown earlier this year.
As a result of the investigation, an organised gang of 28 bringing a large amount of drugs into the town were put behind bars.
This latest drugs warrant took place on Wednesday.
“Police carried out a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at a property at Y Fan, Llwynhendy on Wednesday, August 22,” a police spokeswoman said.
“At around noon uniformed and armed officers forced entry to the property.
“Quick police intervention led to the seizure of a quantity of Class A drugs, a number of mobile phones, drug paraphernalia and a stash of cash.
“A 29-year-old man from Y Fan, Llanelli, and two 19-year-old men from Bootle, Merseyside, were arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply. They have been released under investigation.”
Sergeant Gemma Davies added: “DyfedPowys Police is urging anyone with concerns about drug taking or supply happening in their local community to please get in touch.
“Action may not be taken immediately, but all information is used to build a picture of what is happening. Where appropriate and necessary, warrants will be carried out.
“Anyone with information that can help officers with their investigation is asked to report it by calling 101. If you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired text the nonemergency number on 07811 311 908.
“To report information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers, call 0800 555 111.”
