Four people were arrested by police at a Welshpool pub, including two on suspicion of possessing class A drugs - but none will be hauled before the courts.
Dyfed Powys Police have confirmed that four people were arrested at the Wellington Inn, also known as The Welly, at Berriew Street on the evening of Saturday, August 31.
