Four people have been arrested and suspected drugs, cash and high-value items including watches have been seized following a police operation targeting drug supply in Anglesey.

North Wales Police carried out searches at eight properties and three vehicles in Menai Bridge, Cemaes Bay and Bangor on Monday, 21 September, following an investigation into suspected drug supply.

Four people were arrested in connection with the investigation, with two subsequently charged.

Aaron Colin Owen, 32, of Fron Heulog, Menai Bridge, has been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis, being concerned in the supply of MDMA and 2C-B, possession with intent to supply cannabis and possession of criminal property.

Jordan Lee Jones, 29, of Gardd Denman, Bangor, has been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis.

Both men appeared before Caernarfon Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and were remanded in custody until their next hearing at Caernarfon Crown Court on 19 October.

The other two people arrested have been released under investigation while police enquiries continue.

Officers also seized an amount of suspected drugs, a large sum of cash and high-value assets, including watches.

Ynys Môn Chief Inspector Jon Aspinall said the operation demonstrated the force's commitment to tackling drug-related crime on the island.

He said anyone bringing illegal drugs onto Anglesey would be "relentlessly pursued and brought to justice".

He also thanked local people for their continued support and urged anyone with information about suspected drug activity to contact North Wales Police or Crimestoppers anonymously.

The operation involved activity on both Anglesey and in Bangor as part of the wider investigation into suspected drug supply.
