January’s been a tough month for crime-fighting in Wales, with justice keeping busy and criminals getting their comeuppance! Here’s a rundown of the rogues who found themselves behind bars recently:
First up, a predator in Carmarthenshire who hurled his own child at a TV, resulting in tragic injuries. Meanwhile, a teen idolising a convicted killer plotted a concert attack but was caught just in the nick of time. An army veteran-turned-chemist found himself jailed for supplying lethal substances that led to tragic ends for some.
In grisly crimes against women, many have been jailed, from a controlling ex who set fires out of revenge, to another who relentlessly stalked his victim. There’s no room for sexism in 2026!
Builders aren’t off the hook either – a rogue builder who left families with shoddy homes is serving time after his disastrous workmanship wiped out their savings.
And justice didn’t miss drug dealers, with a former soldier overseeing a widespread cocaine operation, while teenage dealers are now contemplating their errors post-sentencing.
A few conniving burglars who scared families into moving homes, now find themselves without somewhere to call theirs – an iron photo flip-flops for breaking and entering!
Lastly, a ring of criminals using kids in their schemes saw their network dismantled, proving that crime doesn’t pay.
From attempts of robbery, wild driving, and flame-throwing vengeance, to bizarre outbursts in broad daylight, the criminals showcased an array of notorious antics that won’t soon be forgotten. Stay tuned for what February holds as justice continues its relentless pursuit of peace and order. 📸🔗
