Three people have been arrested in Swansea following dawn raids carried out by officers targeting organised crime.
South Wales Police’s organised crime team, supported by specialist officers, executed three warrants this morning as part of the operation.
A 24-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman from Mount Pleasant were among those arrested.
A 49-year-old woman from Townhill was also arrested.
All three remain in police custody.
South Wales Police said tackling organised crime was a priority for the force.
The operation was carried out by the force’s specialist organised crime team, which focuses on disrupting criminal networks across the region.
South Wales Police said: “Dawn raids by the Swansea organised crime team and specialist officers have seen three warrants executed and three people arrested in connection with organised crime.”
The force added it would continue to be “relentless in our pursuit of criminals to protect communities from harm.”
No details have been released about the nature of the organised crime being investigated.
Investigations are ongoing.
Mount Pleasant and Townhill have featured repeatedly in South Wales Police’s organised crime investigations.
A Mount Pleasant man was among four jailed for county lines drug dealing after a vehicle was stopped in Gors Avenue, while a Mount Pleasant woman received a suspended sentence as part of the ‘Scouse Ryan’ county lines operation running drugs between Liverpool and Swansea.
A Mount Pleasant resident was also convicted as an associate of a major south-west Wales drug gang that was found to possess a firearm, cocaine and cannabis.
