When a man-made chamber was discovered under a beach in Wales back in the 1980s, it sparked off an audacious plan by locals and the police to stop a massive drug smuggling operation, centred around millions of pounds worth of marijuana.
Before uncovering the chamber, Pembrokeshire locals had spotted strange behaviour, including a man claiming to be lost after being spotted hiding in a hedge. Then, lobster pots started to go missing and people were spied on a beach only accessible by sea. The local community is tiny, surrounded by miles of remote coastline, and BBC Radio Wales spoke to many members of it. It’s a fascinating tale and well-told too.
