Nearly £10,000 worth of illegal drugs have been seized from the streets of Pembrokeshire.
Drugs and cash have been seized from suspected drug dealers in Milford Haven, Neyland and Pembroke, following a week-long targeted operation which ended today (Friday).
Six people have been arrested for possession with intention to supply illegal drugs with a street value of £9,720.
The drugs seized included £9,000 worth of cannabis, £500 worth of psychoactive substances, £120 worth of amphetamines; and £100 worth of heroin.
£6,500 in cash has also been seized, suspected of being money made from criminal activity.
Pembrokeshire Problem Solving Team Sergeant Reuben Palin said: “The message from the community is clear – illegal drugs cause misery and they need to be taken off the streets.
"I’d like to thank the public for giving us information so we can target drug dealers who take advantage of the most vulnerable in society.
“I encourage anyone with any information or concerns about drug misuse to contact us – as you’ve seen, we will take action.”
Investigations are ongoing into the six arrested people.
A further three people are due to be voluntary interviewed about drug possession.
Anyone with information about the use or supply of drugs can contact police on 101.
