Insp Mark Hughes said: “This is yet another example of the successful work that is being undertaken to manage all types of investigations into serious and organised criminality – including drug supply.”

“We will continue to relentlessly pursue any organised and criminal groups that operate in the Wrexham area. Today’s events should serve as a warning to others who are involved in such activity.”

“We want to reassure people that we are taking positive action. By conducting these warrants our aim is to cause disruption to the trade in illegal drugs across the area.”
