🚔 **Caught Red-Handed!** 🚔
In a bizarre turn of events, Nicole Locke, 32, claimed she was just picking up her car keys—but her car was hiding a jaw-dropping stash: £45,000 worth of cocaine! 🤯
Nicole, along with Guy Priddle, 33, ended up in police custody after officers followed them to a house in Tonypandy. The pair weren’t just out for a casual drive, it seems. When police caught up with them, they stumbled upon more than 1.8 kg of cocaine, with a street value surging beyond £100,000!
It all kicked off when police spotted Priddle in the middle of a dodgy exchange, stuffing suspicions into gear. Tailgated back to their base on George Street, officers unearthed a treasure trove of drugs and cash piled high. In the kitchen? More coke than a party punch bowl. In Nicole’s Mercedes? A kilo of cocaine hiding in the boot, alongside pricy treasures. 💰🚗
Cards on the table—both fessed up to having an illicit side hustle with Class A drugs. The courtroom drama concluded with Locke getting a 2-year and 3-month sentence, and Priddle, eyeing up over 5 years behind bars. The judge didn’t mince words, highlighting how drugs ripple through communities, sowing crime and chaos. ⚖️
LOCKED UP BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: Nicole shared a past marked by addictions and troubles, painting a poignant picture of how the past shapes the present. Priddle, having his own set of family duties, steps into a daunting future himself. The pair’s guilty plea wrapped up a saga of street deals and high stakes.
Guess the only keys this duo will be collecting soon belong to a different kind of ‘pad’. 🔑 #CrimeNews #CocaineBust #LifeBehindBars
