SEVEN people have been charged after being arrested in connection with County Lines drugs supply.
Six men and a woman arrested on Tuesday in Bagillt and Merseyside following search warrants have all been charged with conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine, police have confirmed.
It formed part of Operation Blue Elixir - a joint North Wales Police, Merseyside Police and the Regional Organised Crime Unit operation targeting County Lines drugs gangs.
The investigation has been targeting a Merseyside-based organised crime group which has been transporting crack cocaine and heroin into Flintshire to store and sell it through a network of local vulnerable people who they exploit to take the risk for them.
Two of the men have also been charged with motoring offences and another charged with criminal damage.
Two men have been remanded in custody while four men and a woman have been bailed to appear in court at a later date.
