🚨 Drug Dealer’s Desperate Plea: “I just have to do it to earn a living” 🚔
A 19-year-old cocaine dealer found himself in hot water after a proactive police stop in Llanelli unveiled his illegal operations. Acting on a tip-off, officers halted a Renault Clio and unearthed several bags of cocaine hidden under the passenger seat.
Cole Stevens, the teen passenger, was caught with £780 in cash, cannabis, and a wrap of white crystalline substance stashed in his sock. His explanation? “I just have to do it to earn a living.”
Stevens was arrested and admitted to possession with intent to supply cocaine and other related offences, acknowledging his wrongdoing with comments like “I’m only selling it to three people” and “you got me.”
The drugs seized could fetch an estimated street value of £1,460. Stevens has been released on bail pending sentencing at Swansea Crown Court later this month.
This case underscores the hard-hitting measures taken by Dyfed-Powys Police to clamp down on drug trafficking. Detective Constable Steve Thomas urged, “If you’re dealing drugs in the area, you will be caught.”
Let’s hope this serves as a wake-up call for anyone considering following in Stevens’s footsteps. Drugs don’t just destroy lives—they also derail futures. Stay safe and informed, and let’s work together to keep our streets clean. 💬
