🚓 **Shocking Crash and Arrest in Aberdare!** 🚓
A dramatic incident unfolded in Llwydcoed, near Aberdare, when 28-year-old Luke Jones crashed and flipped his Vauxhall Tigra through a fence on August 3. Witnesses were stunned to see Jones, bloodied from the crash, making sure to gather up scattered drug wraps before attempting to flee the scene.
👀 Quick-thinking witnesses alerted authorities, describing Jones leaving with small, white objects later confirmed to be drug wraps. Fortunately, local officers were nearby and swiftly caught up with him outside a Chinese takeaway. Despite his claims of injuries from a separate bike accident, his story didn’t add up, and suspicions grew.
🚨 A search of Jones’ home revealed a stash of drugs, cash totalling £2,315, and drug paraphernalia. The court wasted no time in sentencing him to four years and six months in prison for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, including crack cocaine and heroin, as well as Class B drugs like cannabis.
💷 The seized cash will be redirected to support local initiatives against drug use and trafficking. South Wales Police reaffirmed their dedication to community safety, urging the importance of reporting suspicious activities.
