🚨 Drugs, Crime, and Courtroom Drama in Swansea 🚨
Two Birmingham buddies, Ayaz Hussain and Asam Bashir, ran a large-scale operation supplying cocaine and heroin to Swansea’s drug scene. Using hired cars and clever hiding spots (roofs, no less!), they tried to dodge the law. But justice caught up!
A traffic stop on the M4 ended their drug-selling escapades, leading police to 48g of heroin and 36g of cocaine hidden in the vehicle. Phone records and number plate tracking revealed their repeated trips from the West Midlands to Swansea over the months.
Judge Paul Thomas had strong words for the duo, ensuring they realised the strong stance Swansea takes against Class A drug dealers. He charged the pair with passing this stern warning onto any drug connections: Sneaking illegal substances into Swansea? Expect a hefty sentence.
Hussain, with a previous record from 2019, received 7 years and 6 months. Bashir, found guilty post-trial and for attempting to mislead the police, got 7 years and 8 months.
South Wales Police Sergeant Luke Tucker highlighted the widespread impact these drugs have on users and communities. Hussain and Bashir’s long sentences send a clear message: Swansea’s streets have no place for drug dealers. 🚔👮♂️
