Gwynedd: Cocaine found by police on baby changing area

Traces of cocaine were found on a baby changing area at one location

Police have expressed concern after finding cocaine in a baby changing area during a string of spot checks of pubs and bars.

North Wales Police said its officers visited 15 premises in Gwynedd using specialist drug swipe kits to test surfaces in toilet areas.

Ten showed positive results for cocaine traces, including a baby changing area at one location.

Sgt Simon Barlow said the findings were "concerning".

"We will be conducting more visits across the district in coming weeks and have applied for funding to provide drug wipe test kits and anti-drug deterrent sprays to licensed premises," he said.

"I would encourage anyone with information about drugs in their local area to report it to police or anonymously via CrimeStoppers."
