Two men have been arrested after police carried out early morning drugs raids in Holyhead as part of efforts to tackle the supply of ketamine on Anglesey.
Officers from North Wales Police executed warrants at two addresses in the Holyhead area on Friday morning (March 6).
During the searches, officers seized a significant quantity of suspected ketamine and cocaine, along with a large amount of cash believed to be linked to drug dealing.
A 25-year-old man and a 22-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the supply of drugs. Both remain in police custody while enquiries continue.
The operation forms part of ongoing work by officers to disrupt the supply of drugs on Anglesey and to target those suspected of exploiting vulnerable people.
PC Andy Jones said officers were acting on concerns raised by the local community.
“We continue to listen to and act on information and concerns reported to us by the local community,” he said.
“We will not tolerate those who seek to exploit the vulnerable residents of Anglesey for their own monetary gain.”
Ketamine, a powerful anaesthetic drug, has increasingly been linked to recreational misuse across the UK in recent years, with police forces warning about the health risks associated with regular use and its growing presence in the illegal drug market.
North Wales Police has previously said tackling drug supply remains a key priority as part of efforts to reduce crime and protect communities across the region.
Anyone with information about drugs in their area is asked to contact police, or report concerns anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
