Man and woman arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply in Llanelli’s town hall gardens.

A PCSO was carrying out proactive patrols in the town centre when he was flagged down by a member of the public at around 6.45pm on Saturday, June 20.

The person said there was a strong smell of cannabis coming from four people sitting on a bench near the town hall.

A woman in the group was seen to be hiding a can of Strongbow, which she was asked to hand over as the area is covered by a Public Spaces Protection Order prohibiting the consumption of alcohol.

Llanelli Sergeant Matthew Langley said: “As the group stood up to leave, a small container fell to the floor, which was found to have cannabis inside.

“Two PCs arrived and arrested a 28-year-old man at the scene. One of the women tried to leave, taking a carrier bag with her, which was then found to contain a quantity of drugs.

“Warrants were later executed at addresses in Llys y Gof and George Street, Llanelli, under the Misuse of Drugs Act, with a number of items seized.

“The woman who had been with the group at town hall gardens was located, and was in possession of a number of tablets. She was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.”

The two people arrested have been released under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.
