A fourth man has been arrested as part of a National Crime Agency investigation into a crime group suspected of using Albanian migrants to farm cannabis.

 

 

Trevor Williams, 61, had previously been the subject of a media appeal for his whereabouts.

 

He was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to produce and supply controlled drugs and money laundering at a location in Wrexham today by officers from North Wales Police, on behalf of the NCA. 

 

It comes after a series of arrests on Monday in North Wales and Cheshire that saw three other men arrested on suspicion of drug cultivation and money laundering offences. A man in his 50s was later bailed, while a man in his 60s was released under investigation. A 28-year-old Albanian national was handed to the immigration authorities.

 

NCA operations manager Julie Booker said: “We are grateful for the help of North Wales Police, the media and the public in this investigation.”
