Officers also discovered £17,190 in cash and a semi-automatic *******, after a search warrant was issued for Pibwr Farm.

Police launched a search operation to discover her location, which included a wanted appeal and a Crimewatch appeal offering a reward of £1,000, while she was also added to their ‘Most Wanted’ section of British fugitives.

At the time of their arrests, neighbours expressed their shock with the culprits described as a “normal farming family”.

Detective Chief Inspector Rhys Jones, who was leading the search, said: “The arrest shows our determination to find those who think they can evade justice. I would like to thank officers for their commitment, dedication, support, and persistence in bringing this element of the investigation to a successful conclusion”.

“I would like to thank members of the public for their assistance and information provided over the last 16 months – which has been greatly appreciated”.

“This will send a strong message that the activities of those individuals linked to Organised ****** Groups operating within the area of Dyfed Powys will not be tolerated, and that they will be brought to justice”.
