Detectives from the Operation Scorpion anti-drugs task force arrested two men in raids in Caernarfon today.
The pair were held after police went into an address in Northgate Street, where they found a stash of suspected controlled drugs.
They have been bailed while investigations continue.
The latest arrests came after four men were held on Monday, one for possession with intent to supply Class I drugs and the other three for theft.
They have been charged and will appear before magistrates soon.
All the men were aged between 35 and 50.
Detective Sergeant Andy Davies, of North Wales Police’s Priority Crime Team said: “Possession and distribution of controlled drugs will not be tolerated in our local communities and we will continue to take positive, robust action where necessary.
“However we can’t tackle this problem alone and key to all our work, and that of our partners, is intelligence and I cannot emphasise enough the importance of the community sharing their concerns with us.
“In line with the force’s Operation Scorpion we are fully committed to the investigation of serious and organised crime and eradicating it from our communities and I’d reiterate that anyone with information regarding the production and supply of controlled drugs or anyone they believe is involved in organised crime contact North Wales Police.”
He added: “Information can be passed to Police in several ways, from either speaking to your local Police Officer or PCSO, contacting the control room direct via the new web live chat http://www.north-wales.police.uk/contact/chat-support.aspx or phoning 101 or messaging via Facebook or Twitter.
“If you’d rather pass information anonymously then phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Operation Scorpion has been behind a series of high profile arrests and prosecutions in the last 12 months, including that of Caernarfon drug kingpin Gavin Thorman, who was jailed for 12 years in April .
He was found to have been controlling a sizeable criminal empire that sought to flood the streets of North Wales with cocaine and cannabis.
