Largescale cannabis farm discovered following raid on King Street, Carmarthen

Dyfed-Powys Police executed a warrant at a property on King St, Carmarthen Wednesday, October 23.

During the warrant, a large hydroponic set up was located with 930 cannabis plants seized, with a potential street value of over £870,000.

One man, Jurgen Kodra, 30, has been charged with production of controlled drug, class B cannabis. He has appeared at Llanelli court and pleaded guilty.
He has been remanded in custody until sentencing.

Residents will see increased police activity in the area as the investigation continues.

Detective Sergeant Richard Saunders said “We are committed to making our force area hostile to organised groups who produce and deal illegal drugs, and our work here in Carmarthen has seen a significant amount of cannabis taken out of the supply chain. Dyfed Powys Police will continue to target those who supply drugs in our community and the related incidents that it brings.

The local community can help us by continuing to report any signs of cannabis cultivation:

•       Distinctive aroma coming from a property and noises from ventilation fans.
•       Blacked out windows to avoid detection.
•       People and vehicles coming and going at odd hours.
•       Bright lights on continuously; even though the property appears to be vacant.
•       Lots of condensation on windows
•       Unusual wiring to a property as it may be the electricity meters have been bypassed.
•       ‘Garden’ rubbish such as plant pots, fertiliser, compost, and chemicals.

Any bit of information, no matter how small it may seem, could help make a big difference. You can do so, either by:
