Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Jon Evans said:
“Thankfully these types of incidents in Gwent are few and far between, but when they do occur we take immediate and robust action to ensure the safety of local residents and identify those responsible to bring them before the courts.
“Today’s result sends a clear message to anyone involved in criminal activity in Gwent that you will be caught and you will face the consequences.
“I would like to take this opportunity to ask that anyone who has information about illegal drug activity in their area, or concerns about firearm use, to call us on 101.”
