Detective Inspector Steven Thomas, who led the operation, said: "Tackling drug supply and associated criminal activity is a priority for us.

"Illegal drugs have no place in society, and we’ve taken a quantity of class A and class B drugs off the streets of Newport.

"These arrests send a strong reminder to those involved in drug supply in and around the Gwent area.

"We will continue to target those who involve themselves in these illegal activities in our communities."
