A week of intensification tackling drug-related crime has seen over 70 people arrested across the South Wales Police force area. The force’s enhanced activity, as part of the national County Lines Intensification Week, saw people arrested and charged, along with seizures of class A and B drugs, knives and cash. Organised Crime, Intelligence, and Exploitation teams worked together across south Wales to on operations aimed at safeguarding victims of exploitation, identifying and arresting those selling drugs in our communities, and closing drugs lines across the force area. Neighbourhood teams also spent time in the community dedicated to spreading awareness of…

PC Catrin Hughes is pioneering a groundbreaking initiative aimed at making women feel safer when running outdoors. A passionate runner herself, Catrin understands firsthand the anxiety and vulnerability that women can experience while out on the roads and trails. Going above and beyond her ‘traditional duties’, she and her colleagues have joined women runners, addressing any instances of misogyny in the moment and speaking directly with individuals whose behaviour falls short of what is acceptable. PC Hughes said: “I chose to start Operation Cadence because I recognised that a lot of people – especially women – enjoy running and being…

A mother and a father have this week been jailed for causing or allowing the death of their daughter. Alan Davies and Bernita Davies, both 60, of Bluebell Estate, Pandy, Wrexham appeared at Mold Crown Court on 19 March for sentencing.

Two thirds must be served in custody before…

Businesses are evolving online, and that online landscape grows ever more complicated, year over year. The security systems on the platforms are getting more robust, and the automated filters are being more precise, while digital competition is increasing in almost every industry. And in this environment, companies are searching for solutions that help them do business efficiently, but with stable and trustworthy connections. Perhaps the most visible change in recent years has been for mobile proxies. Small startups, medium-sized organisations, and large enterprises in general are moving to using mobile proxies, and a growing number of organisations are moving to…

Free internet connection has become as prevalent as a reliable source of power or water. People expect connecting to the network for free in hotels and libraries, cafes and airports, and while on public transportation. This convenience has transformed the way we communicate, work, or travel. Anyone may easily check their email or talk with colleagues from any location. Yet behind this convenience often lies another, less obvious but far more dangerous aspect. Many users don’t realize that open networks can pose serious threats to personal data. By connecting to an unsecured network, a person effectively hands over some control…

Social media moves fast. Trends rise overnight, attention spans shrink by the second, and brands that fail to publish engaging content consistently get left behind. That is exactly why AI video tools have become essential for modern marketers. Today, marketing teams are expected to create short-form videos, ad creatives, product demos, explainers, and platform-specific content at scale. Doing all of that manually takes too much time. A right tool can speed up scripting, editing, visual generation, and repurposing, helping marketers produce more content without sacrificing quality. If you want to stay competitive in 2026, these tools deserve a place in…

Welsh jockey James Bowen admits Cheltenham often left him feeling like an outsider, but two winners this year changed everything. For much of his career, James Bowen has said that the Cheltenham Festival has been a place of frustration rather than fulfilment.  The sport’s biggest stage, where reputations are forged and memories are made, too often left the Welsh jockey walking away feeling like a peripheral figure in racing’s greatest week. That changed this year as two winners across the opening days of the Festival finally gave Bowen the moment he had long been waiting for, transforming years of quiet…

It didn’t happen overnight. Ten years ago, if you wanted to meet someone in Cardiff, you went to a pub on St Mary’s Street or joined a local football club. Today? You swipe. You scroll. You join a WhatsApp group before you’ve even exchanged a word in person. Digital connection trends Cardiff now dictate the rhythm of social life—not just for students or tech enthusiasts, but for grandparents sharing photos of their gardens in Roath. The shift is unmistakable. According to Ofcom’s report, 89% of adults in Wales use the internet daily, with messaging apps overtaking face-to-face catch-ups for the…

No one expects buying or selling a home to be a walk in the park. It is, after all, continually cited as one of life’s most stressful events, surpassing events such as childbirth or difficult job interviews.  So some stress is to be expected. What is frustrating, however, is that buying or selling a house often feels unnecessarily stressful. Take conveyancing as an example. Modern conveyancing has been around since the early 1900s, yet it remains a highly stressful experience due to both the difficulty in finding a reputable conveyancer and the high costs they charge. Conveyancing-solicitor.co.uk is designed to…

The £500,000 transformation a former farmyard into a showroom centre has helped a high flying garden rooms firm boost sales by 25%. Soaring demand for  the bespoke buildings – developed using aviation technology – has led to Rubicon Garden Rooms expanding its workforce and growing its order book. The success story was highlighted during a ministerial visit by Ken Skates MS,  Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, who toured the company’s site in Penyffordd on the Cheshire/North Wales border. Once fully completed in the summer, the complex will be known as The Village, where Rubicon’s wide range…
