Operation Solana

Gwent Police stumble upon a multi-million-pound drug operation, which takes an unexpected turn when detectives unravel a cryptocurrency money laundering scheme. At the sentencing of a street level drugs gang, officers in the Organised Crime Team gain new intel on a suspicious property linked to one of the gang members, which launches an investigation – Operation Solana. Drugs seized at the address has a potential street value of approximately £4.6 million. DNA and evidence collected from the raid reveals that the operation involves one of the most prolific drug dealers in Wales, who has been on the run from authorities for three years.
