A police unit set up to clamp down on organised crime and drug gangs in North Wales seized drugs, weapons and cash after stopping a car earlier today.

North Wales Police Intercept Team pulled over the car in Flint where a hoard of ‘controlled drugs’ was seized.

A photo posted onto the team’s social media page shows a large number of evidence bags containing drugs, mobile phones, cash and a knuckle duster.

A spokesperson for the team said: 

“We’re still out hunting and today didn’t disappoint! 

A vehicle stopped in `Flint was found to contain a hoard of controlled drugs.

Easy pickings folks, we’ll say it again…. we will catch you.”

The 16-strong Intercept Team use Automatic Number Plate Technology (ANPR) to identify vehicles often associated with the drugs trade in a bid to make the region “a hostile environment for crime groups to operate in.”
