Officers from our neighbourhood policing team in Torfaen carried out two simultaneous warrants this morning as part of an ongoing investigation into drug supply.
Specially trained officers forced entry into two properties in Sebastopol, Pontypool, at around 5am before searching the premises.
After carefully searching the buildings, we arrested two people – a 33-year-old man from Pontypool on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs, and; a 56-year-old man on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A and C drugs – and seized drugs, mobile phones and more.
PC O’Connell, officer in the case, said:
“Officers have detained two Pontypool men following warrants at two addresses in Sebastopol this morning.
“We’ve removed drugs from the streets, and our investigation into drug supply in the area continues.
“We will do all we can to target those we suspect to be profiting from the supply of illegal drugs, and will act on any information provided by the public to safeguard the public from serious crime.”
If you have any concerns or information about illegal drug supply in your community, we encourage you to report it to us via the website, by calling 101 or by sending us a direct message on Facebook or X, so that we can take action.
Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, with information.
