  2. SWANSEA: Three arrested in dawn raids targeting organised crime network

    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.

    Anyone with information about organised crime in their area is urged to contact South Wales Police on 101.

    Reports can also be made anonymously via Crimestoppers online or by calling 0800 555 111.

    If someone is in immediate danger or a crime is taking place, dial 999.

  4. DRUG GANG BUSTED: Swansea man jailed as cocaine network smashed in £multi-area operation

    A Swansea man has been jailed for his role in a major organised crime gang that pumped drugs into communities across south Wales.

    Bradley Williams, 38, from Swansea, was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison after pleading guilty to multiple drug offences.

    He was part of a wider network supplying cocaine, cannabis and ketamine across the region — in what police described as a large-scale operation causing “misery and harm” to local communities.

    The gang was brought down following a major investigation led by Tarian, the regional organised crime unit for southern Wales.

    Major operation targets drug network

    The investigation — known as Operation Allegro — targeted a sophisticated drugs network operating across south Wales and into southwest England.

    Officers worked alongside Gwent Police and Gloucestershire Constabulary to dismantle the group, which was led by Gloucestershire-based Danny Tomlin.

    The gang was responsible for supplying wholesale quantities of Class A drugs, including cocaine, as well as cannabis to a wide customer base.

    Their operation stretched into communities across Swansea Bay and beyond.

    Swansea link to wider criminal network

    Williams played a key role in the network, admitting conspiracy to supply cannabis, offering to supply cocaine and ketamine, and possession of criminal property.

    His involvement highlights how organised crime networks often rely on local figures to distribute drugs into towns and communities across the region.

    Police say these operations fuel wider issues including addiction, violence and exploitation.

    Cannabis factories uncovered

    As part of the investigation, officers uncovered two sophisticated cannabis factories hidden inside residential properties.

    The sites — located in Blackwood and Trebanog — were being used to produce large quantities of cannabis for distribution.

    The discovery underlined the scale and organisation of the gang’s activities.

    Early morning raids bring gang down

    The network was dismantled following coordinated police raids across multiple locations in July 2025.

    Officers executed a series of warrants over two days, arresting those involved and gathering key evidence.

    Seven of the nine defendants later admitted their roles before or during trial.

    Gang leader handed longest sentence

    At Cardiff Crown Court, gang leader Danny Tomlin was jailed for 10 years and 10 months after admitting conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis, as well as cultivating cannabis.

    Other key members from Newport and Gloucestershire received sentences ranging from several months to six years.

    In total, the nine members of the group were handed combined sentences of more than 43 years behind bars.

    Police: ‘Misery and harm’ caused to communities

    Detective Inspector Vinnie Easton said the group had been driven by profit at the expense of local people.

    He said: “This was a large-scale, complex investigation into an organised crime group who sought to profit from the misery and harm they brought to our communities.”

    He added that the sentences should reassure the public that action is being taken against drug supply networks.

    Impact felt across Swansea Bay

    While the gang operated across multiple areas, cases like this highlight the impact organised crime has on communities in Swansea and across the wider region.

    Police say tackling drug supply remains a priority, with networks like this often linked to wider criminal activity.

    Residents are being urged to report concerns about suspected drug dealing.

    Public urged to come forward

    Anyone with information about drug supply can contact police via 101 or report anonymously through Crimestoppers.

    Officers say intelligence from the public plays a key role in building cases against organised crime groups.

  7. But arrest records for two of the men show the government's stated reason for the raid was to take out #squatters, not #gang members. The documents were included in a motion filed in an ongoing case challenging #warrantless #arrests in #Chicago.

    In the documents, #DHS stated "this operation was based on intelligence that there were illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments in the building." There is no mention of criminal gangs or Tren de Aragua.
