🚨 Caught Red-Handed! 🚔
A routine traffic stop turned into a significant drug bust after police nabbed a 33-year-old man driving “erratically” in Swansea. Officers initially stopped the man, identified as John Smith, for speeding in an Audi TT, only to uncover that he was driving with a suspended license. It didn’t end there! 🚗💨
The real bombshell dropped when they found a burner phone in Smith’s possession, loaded with messages revealing his dealings in cocaine. From small amounts to quarter-ounce deals, Smith was actively supplying Class A drugs in the area. 📱💥
Smith, a father of two, pleaded guilty to being involved in the supply of drugs, driving while disqualified, and without insurance. He was sentenced to 31 months behind bars and will spend at least half that time in custody before being considered for release on licence.
Driving bans were already in place for Smith, stemming from previous offences. The court heard that personal tragedy led him down this unlawful path, but the law showed no leniency. 🚔
Stay safe and stay informed, folks! Remember, crime doesn’t pay. 💼👮♂️
