An organised crime group (OCG) modified cars to smuggle large amounts of drugs from Merseyside into Wrexham.
The movements of those suspected to be involved in the drug supply chain were closely monitored by North Wales Police for seven months from July 2021 to February 2022 as part of Operation Blue Cashel. A number of raids were carried out across North Wales and Merseyside in February last year which led to a significant recovery of drugs and cash.
In total more than 18kg of cocaine, more than 19kg of amphetamine, and 885 grams of cannabis was seized as part of the operation - a total estimated street value of around £2m. The OCG operation modified cars with sophisticated electronic hides in the floor pan to transport the drugs into the North Wales town.
