Two suspects in custody as officers find drugs at Cwmbran address

Neighbourhood officers in Cwmbran have arrested two people suspected of supplying cocaine.

The team raided two addresses during the early hours of this morning (Wednesday 5 February), before detaining those inside and searching the properties.

During the warrants, officers found and seized class A drugs (believed to be cocaine), cash and a number of mobile devices.

A 65-year-old man from Cwmbran was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, while a 40-year-old woman from Fairwater, Cwmbran, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

They remain in police custody at this time.

PC Joseph O'Connor, officer in the case, said:

"This morning's warrants have resulted in us safeguarding communities, removing class-A drugs from the streets and detaining two individuals we suspect have been supplying illegal drugs in Cwmbran.

"These operations are made possible by the vital part our communities play in providing information, and telling us about their concerns around drug offences.

"This information, no matter how big or small, helps us build an intelligence picture and plan proactive operations to bring offenders to justice."
