A talk about the Operation Seal Bay story - one of Wales’ most astonishing drug-smuggling cases, which took place in Pembrokeshire, will take place at Canolfan Bethlehem this week.

The event at Canolfan Bethlehem will take place on Thursday, August 28, starting 6.30pm and will be a talk about one of Wales’ biggest ever drug busts that took place in Trefdraeth (Newport), Pembrokeshire in the 1980s, when a joint operation involving Dyfed Powys Police and HM Customs uncovered a sophisticated drug smuggling ring.

In 1983, Newport found itself at the heart of one of Wales’ most astonishing drug-smuggling cases. Hear the full inside story from the men who led the investigation.

Don Evans and John Daniels, ex-Chief Superintendents, return to tell how a quiet coastal community helped uncover an international criminal network hidden in plain sight.

Acting on months of intelligence gathering, a joint Police/HM Customs operation saw officers ‘camping out’ undercover at Aberbach Beach prior to the swoop that made the national news headlines.

With real-life drama, gripping local history, and the thrill of true crime, this will be an unmissable evening for Newport and beyond. Come along and bring a friend!
