Re: Heroin deaths in a Carmarthenshire town have dropped since raids were carried out on 28 members of a drugs gang who have now been jailed, police have said.
The gang supplied a "staggering" amount of Class A drugs in Llanelli as well as Aberystwyth in Ceredigion.
Drugs deaths in both towns between 2014 and 2017 sparked Operation Ulysses to tackle to the multi-million pound ring.
The gang was sentenced to between three and 16 years at Swansea Crown Court following guilty pleas.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the gang conspired to supply in excess of 20kg of heroin and cocaine, along with MDMA, cannabis and ketamine throughout Wales.
The force said the defendants were operating from within north Wales, south west Wales and also with another group based in Liverpool.
They were described as a sophisticated group dealing on an industrial scale and "executed their criminal enterprise with precision". « less
