Police say over a million pounds worth of drugs has been taken off the streets of Bangor in the last 12 months.

Officers have carried out 75 operations in and around the city as part of the Renew Bangor initiative, which was launched in March last year.

It's led to over £1.25m of drugs being seized - including multiple kilgorams of cocaine and over a kilogram of heroin, while three cannabis farms have been dismantled.

Over £260,000 worth of criminal property has also been recovered, including a large haul of weapons.

The High Street alone has seen anti-social behaviour fall by 8.1% while across the city, 71 people were arrested for driving under the influence of drink and drugs.

Stephen Pawson, chief inspector for Gwynedd, said: "The community has always been at the heart of this project, and I feel grateful for their full support over the last year."

"We have worked closely with partners to tackle the issues which we have been told by local people cause them the most concern."

"Over 800 hours of targeted anti-social behaviour (ASB) patrols have taken place in areas that residents have told cause problems which has resulted in a decrease in ASB reported to us."

"We are continuing to meet with partners regularly to tackle the issues that matter most to residents."

"Our message remains clear: those who seek to bring criminality to the area are not welcome and they will be pursued and brought to justice."

The Renew Bangor scheme, which involves a sergeant and six officers, uses a three-phase initiative known as 'Clear Hold Build', which uses targeted high-visibility policing along with support from partners and local residents in an effort to tackle serious and organised crime groups.
