🚨 Bust in Swansea: Car Park Cocaine Dealer Caught! 🚔
Dean Kelshaw was caught red-handed running a serious cocaine operation in a Swansea car park. With nearly £1,000 crammed in his bum bag, Kelshaw claimed it was from online gambling. Not buying it, the judge labelled him a “nuisance” and sentenced him to a lengthy prison term. 📸
Police found Kelshaw, 40, with 26g of cocaine and a stash of cash when he was detained at Trinity Place. This wasn’t his first run-in with the law—he’s got 116 offences on his record, including 24 drug-related convictions. His previous dealings even roped in family and friends as runners. 📋
Despite his lawyer’s claims that he wanted to turn his life around by becoming a drugs counsellor, Kelshaw found himself back behind bars. In a bid to rid the streets of trouble, the judge sentenced him to over five years in prison—sending a clear message that enough is enough. ❌
The bust also uncovered a “tick list” with over £12,500 in debts listed, showing Kelshaw’s significant role in the drug trade. After his arrest, the illegal earnings will now aid police work in tackling drugs. 💸
South Wales Police said Kelshaw is showing no signs of changing his ways, and his incarceration will help protect Swansea’s streets and its community. Let’s hope this brings some peace to the city. 🌈
