Amlwch’s streets got a little safer after Christopher McGrath was sentenced to prison for pushing class A drugs.

Three Years Inside for Cocaine Supply

Christopher McGrath, 44, from Stad Cae Rhun, Cemaes, copped a three-year jail term at Caernarfon Crown Court on 17 March. He admitted to being involved in a cocaine supply ring that operated across Amlwch.

His arrest followed a joint crackdown by North Wales Police and Merseyside Police in December 2025. Officers seized McGrath’s phone, uncovering bulk messages hawking cocaine from July to December 2025.

Criminal Behaviour Order to Keep Him in Check

Along with jail time, McGrath was slapped with a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) to stop him from returning to his old ways.

Police Vow to Clamp Down on Drug Crime

Sergeant Dylan Thomas warned: “Drug dealers blight our communities and harm the vulnerable for a quick profit.”

“Our team will keep Anglesey a hostile place for organised criminals, bringing offenders like McGrath to justice.”
