Police have charged six people with drug offences after a vehicle was stopped en-route to Liverpool.
One of the suspects was driving from Cardiff to Liverpool and onwards, but was being monitored. The vehicle was stopped as part of a south Wales regional drugs operation.
The investigation led to a number of subjects involved in the supply chain being identified. Detectives from Tarian, the regional organised crime team for southern Wales, charged six people with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs (heroin) at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on November 4.
