A further two arrests were made for possession with intent to supply, with three more arrested on suspicion of drug driving. Chief Inspector Emma Parry said: “Today’s operation is just one example of the work we are doing to target those involved in County Lines drugs supply that has a significant impact on the towns and cities of North Wales, and the levels of crime and disorder in our communities.
“We are focussed on disrupting and targeting those involved and we will continue to work with Merseyside Police and other forces to combat this issue and support those who are being exploited at the hands of organised crime gangs.
“I would encourage the community to pass any information they have to North Wales Police via the website here – or by calling 101.
“You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously online, or by calling 0800 555 111.”
