🚨 **Dramatic Arrests After Gurnos Estate Shooting!** 🚔
Armed police swooped in at gunpoint to arrest three men linked to a violent shooting on Merthyr’s Gurnos estate. Brothers Rhys and Jack Mew, along with Garyn Marshall-Palmer, chased their target, Craig Harris, through the estate streets in a “revenge attack” amidst a drug dealer feud. Rhys Mew fired a 9mm handgun in the street, but thankfully, the gun has never been recovered so no one else is at risk.
CCTV and video doorbell footage revealed the dramatic chase and capture of Craig Harris on Magnolia Close. The subsequent police raid led to the arrest of Jack Mew and Marshall-Palmer, while officers found live ammunition hidden in the attic. Rhys Mew, who was previously on bail, was caught separately. Disturbing Facebook messages were uncovered where Rhys warned Craig, “Keep robbing my sales and see what happens.”
Judge Jeremy Jenkins didn’t hold back, condemning Rhys Mew for his extensive Class A drug dealings in Merthyr. Rhys, 25, received an 8-year sentence for drug trafficking and firearm possession, while his younger brother Jack, 19, was sentenced to 3 years in a young offender institution. Twenty-year-old Marshall-Palmer received a 2-year and 9-month sentence.
This violent street clash could’ve ended in far worse consequences. Justice has been served, bringing a sense of relief to the Gurnos community.
