Three people have been arrested in early-morning warrants as part of an operation to tackle county lines.

Operation Adelaide saw officers carry out two warrants in Lansbury Park, Caerphilly, and Thornhill, Cardiff, on Tuesday, October 12, in connection with an investigation into the supply of Class A drugs.

A 52-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man, both from Caerphilly, were arrested on suspicion of:

  • being concerned in the supply of heroin
  • being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine
  • conspiracy to supply crack cocaine
  • being concerned in the supply of a Class C drug.

A 32-year-old man from Caerphilly was also arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply crack cocaine. All three are in police custody.

A quantity of drugs, cash, high-value bikes, a moped and multiple phones were seized during the operation.

PC Rhys Jones, who led the operation, said: “The public have an important role to play in providing information that can assist us in dismantling county lines drugs lines and safeguarding vulnerable individuals. I would urge anyone with any information about drug dealing in the community to report it to us, so we can take action.”
