Seven people have been arrested in a crackdown on county lines drug dealing on Anglesey.

Detectives from North Wales and Merseyside carried out a three-day operation following a nine-month investigation aimed at disrupting serious and organised crime on the island.

Cash was seized along with suspected cocaine and ketamine - and one person was arrested on suspicion of drink or drug driving following a series of stop searches.

All seven suspects were released on bail, but they remain under investigation on suspicion of possessing class A and class B drugs, robbery and assault.

District Support Sergeant Chris Burrow from North Wales Police said: "Over the last nine months, we have been working in collaboration with Merseyside Police to remove drugs from the island, and those who use them to target and control vulnerable members of the community."

“Several proactive days have seen targeted stop searches and warrants leading to the seizure of class A drugs destined to be sold on the streets of Anglesey."

“We have also been working with partner agencies to refer those found in possession of drugs to Checkpoint to support them in stopping their drug use."

Inspector Stephen Morris from Merseyside Police added: "Over the last year, we have worked alongside North Wales Police to disrupt county lines drug dealing and safeguard vulnerable people."

"During these operations, officers have made significant arrests and seized weapons, drugs and illicit cash, while identifying vulnerable individuals exploited by county lines gangs."

“This latest operation shows the results that can be achieved when working together to proactively target those involved in this type of criminality. Under Project Medusa, we are committed to working alongside partners and other forces to close these County Lines and protect our communities.”
