Show Notes
In the early 1980s, the peaceful Welsh town of Newport became a hotbed for international drug smuggling. Locals noticed unusual activity, leading to Operation Seal Bay. A hidden bunker was discovered, packed with boats and outboard motors, intended for a massive cannabis shipment. Residents tipped off police, revealing links to global traffickers. Key players were arrested, including Robin Boswell, Soeren Berg-Arnbak, and Donald Holmes. Despite no seized drugs, locals testimonies secured convictions. The era of flashy gentleman smugglers ended, with rougher crews taking over.
