TWO men have been arrested following a joint operation in the Gwynedd area yesterday (February 22).
North Wales Police officers worked with colleagues from Merseyside Police in a day of action as part of Operation Medusa, to target county lines supply into North Wales.
Officers targeted areas in Bangor, Bethesda and Caernarfon which resulted in a 33-year-old man being arrested on suspicion of money laundering and assaulting an emergency service worker.
A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply.
Police also conducted several positive stop searches for possession offences.

Sergeant Andy Davies said: “We have a close working relationship with our Northwest colleagues and continue to share resources and intelligence to disrupt county lines.
"Our aim is to make Gwynedd North a hostile environment for those involved in the supply of drugs.
"We continue to target any individuals who operate county lines.
"They do not respect borders, the communities they bring harm and misery to, or the vulnerable people they exploit in the pursuit of illegal proceeds of crime.”
