Class C drugs have been seized following police raids at two properties in Blackwood.

The Gwent Police raids were carried out on the morning of Tuesday October 1, with mobile phones and drug paraphernalia also seized.

Inspector Andrew Gibbs, of Gwent Police, said: “We’re proactively targeting individuals supplying illegal drugs in our communities.

“Our neighbourhood and enforcement officers continue to act on any information provided by the public by planning warrants such as this morning’s.”

Inspector Gibbs added: “While our investigation continues, I’d ask that you come forward with any information you may have, no matter how small you think it may be.

“We listen and will actively follow up through enforcement tactics to ensure we protect our communities from the harmful effects of illegal drugs.”
