The last time I went to this area, I asked a few people about the case.
Apparently the police (Dyfed-Powys?) were trained to set up covert OPs to look for drug smugglers, bringing in drugs via fishing boats. Then onwards to sell in Swansea etc.
But the police weren't suspecting IRA smugglers? Even so, you'd think they would spot something suspicious.
Also would this not be the job of the Customs and Excise (at that time?)
Did Customs set up covert OPs like this? Or would they ask the army to do it for them?
Anyway, some locals told me that caves and coves were used for hiding drugs and weapons.
I've seen people there with metal detectors. Strange the police didn't use the metal detectors back then to find the jewellery and weapons hidden by Cooper (and the IRA weapons)?
Peter Dixon was an amateur radio operator with a radio in his car.
It was suspected he was overheard talking to a boat via radio.
Also, he had business contacts who sold mercury tilt switches in Ireland, so that lead to further IRA suspicions.
