🚨 Despite raking in over £106,000 from drug dealing, Gareth Hall is only ordered to pay back a mere £6,000! 🚨
Gareth Hall, 26, was part of a crime gang that advertised and sold cocaine across south Wales. Along with partners in crime Callum Nocivelli and Declan Carr, Hall had a lucrative operation using hundred of text messages to push their illegal trade in Newport, Cwmbran, and Pontypool.
However, justice seems a bit uneven here. After the police nabbed the gang, all three pleaded guilty and received prison sentences. Hall got six years, while Nocivelli and Carr were also jailed. But here’s the kicker: despite making a fortune from crime, Hall’s assets are only worth £5,988. That’s all he has to pay back unless he wants an extra four months in jail! 😲
Gwent Police busted the gang after raiding homes in Bettws, relying on clever phone analysis from another case. With evidence stacked high against them, the criminal trio had no choice but to plead guilty.
It’s a story that highlights both the successes and perplexities of tackling organised crime. What do you think? Is the system too lenient, or are the sentences fair? 🤔💬
