Aspiring police officers at Bangor University have been hearing about the recent crackdown on serious and organised crime in the city.

More than 70 arrests were made in the first three months of the Renew Bangor campaign with over £200,000 worth of drugs and criminal cash taken off the streets.

Superintendent Arwel Hughes met with students on the Professional Policing degree where they learned more about the multi-agency crackdown.

He said: "Renew Bangor relies on all members of the community to support the project to build on the success we have begun to see in Bangor."

"The students I met with had a great perspective on the initiative and suggested ideas on what they would like to see themselves on the High Street."

"We will continue to work with Bangor University and other partners to tackle issues faced by community members and to build on the feeling of safety for community members in the city centre."

Dewi Roberts, who leads the degree course at Bangor University, added: "As a course we get valuable support from North Wales Police so that our theory within the classroom is supported by real life input from guest speakers."

"The input from Superintendent Arwel Hughes was engaging and being able to discuss the purposes of the initiative of great value to the students."

Meanwhile, the CHB team have been concentrating on concerns over drug dealing in the Bethesda.

Two people were arrested during a series of raids in the town on Friday - a man and a woman were later released but remain under investigaton for possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply, being concerned in supplying Class A drugs and money laundering offences.

And a local man was arrested on Monday on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply and money laundering.

Police said a substantial amount of cash and suspected heroin was seized.
