Police have appealed for information about two men they want to question in connection with a drugs raid in Welshpool earlier this week.

Dyfed Powys Police raided the Leighton Arches caravan park in Welshpool on Monday. They want to locate Martin John Galagher, 35, and John Christopher Gallagher, 29.

A police statement said: "The two men, from Welshpool, are wanted in connection to an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking, related to the significant police operation at Leighton Arches caravan park on Monday, 21 June."

Anyone who knows their location should contact Dyfed Powys Police by calling 101.

Three men arrested on Monday have been charged with drug trafficking offences following the police operation that involved 80 officers with substances, believed to be class A and B drugs, seized.

Michael Power, 19, and John Paul Power, 25, have been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis. Patrick David Stokes, aged 32, has been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine. The men have been remanded in police custody.

A further man was arrested today on suspicion of conspiracy to supply cocaine in connection with the investigation. The 24-year-old remains in police custody.
