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.

Third man charged over Pyle shooting remanded in custody
20‑year‑old from Bridgend faces multiple charges
South Wales Police confirmed that Daniel Clarke, 20, from Bridgend, has been charged following the incident on Maes Glas, Pyle, on Monday 22 September.
Clarke is accused of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and conspiring with others to cause grievous bodily harm. He is also alleged to have taken part in the activities of an organised crime group. In addition, prosecutors say he had a firearm and suitable ammunition in a public place, and that he was concerned in the supply of a class B controlled drug.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on Friday 24 October at 10am.
What happened in Pyle
The charges stem from an incident in the early hours of Monday 22 September, when residents of a property on Maes Glas reported hearing a loud bang at around 3.30am. On inspection, they discovered two holes in the glass panel of their front door.
Police officers attended and later recovered bullets from the scene. The discovery sparked a major investigation, with detectives treating the incident as a targeted attack involving a firearm.
In the days that followed, two men were arrested and subsequently charged in connection with the shooting. Both were remanded in custody earlier this month, as reported by Swansea Bay News.
Ongoing investigation
This latest charge brings the total number of men facing prosecution over the incident to three. South Wales Police say their enquiries are continuing and have thanked the local community for their cooperation during what has been described as a “serious and concerning” case.
The force has again appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
