Over a million pounds worth of drugs have been seized since the launch of Renew Bangor in March 2025.
The multi-agency project began last year with an aim to tackle serious and organised crime in Bangor and surrounding areas.
Over the last year, police and partners have carried out 75 operations which has resulted in £1.25 million worth of drugs being taken off the streets, £260,000 worth of criminal property seized and 71 drink and drug drivers arrested.
One of the areas of focus was Bangor High Street, which has seen an 8.1% decrease in anti-social behaviour, improving the daily experience for those who live, work and visit the city centre.
Police-led warrants have resulted in over a kilogram of heroin and multiple kilograms of cocaine seized, a large quantity of weapons recovered and three cannabis farms being dismantled.
Chief Inspector for Gwynedd, Stephen Pawson, said: “The community has always been at the heart of this project, and I feel grateful for their full support over the last year.
“We have worked closely with partners to tackle the issues which we have been told by local people cause them the most concern.
“Over 800 hours of targeted anti-social behaviour (ASB) patrols have taken place in areas that residents have told cause problems which has resulted in a decrease in ASB reported to us.
“We are continuing to meet with partners regularly to tackle the issues that matter most to residents.
“Our message remains clear: those who seek to bring criminality to the area are not welcome and they will be pursued and brought to justice.”
