In a shocking turn of events, a solicitor from Port Talbot is at the centre of a major court case. Ben Garvey, 38, has been accused of involvement in drug dealing, supplying not just cocaine but steroids as well! The tales emerging from the courtroom paint a picture of a tight-knit group allegedly fuelling their antics with Class A substances.
It’s alleged that Garvey used a WhatsApp group known as ‘The Old C****s’ to organise cocaine purchases for himself and friends. This same group included messages of support for David Kingdon, a former police officer dismissed for cocaine use. In one candid message, Garvey reportedly claimed the locals were “shovelling cocaine down their necks” every week.
The plot thickens with Garvey’s association with Daniel Baker, 34, a notorious figure accused of running an organised crime group focused on drug supply. Baker allegedly had Garvey as his solicitor while coordinating cocaine deliveries via encrypted messages.
Garvey denies all charges, including perverting the course of justice and encouragement to purchase illegal substances. The trial is ongoing, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats. What’s your take on this developing story? Stay tuned for updates!
