🚨 **Major Drug Bust in Swansea! 🚨**
In a shocking turn of events, a garden shed in Swansea was found to hold a hidden stash of 20kg of cannabis, with an estimated street value of £95,000! Following a tip-off, the police raided the property early one morning, uncovering not only the drugs but an extendable baton and a whopping £18,000 in cash.
Jason Lewis, 37, was arrested and later stood trial at Swansea Crown Court. Alongside the cannabis, authorities also seized diazepam tablets and various “powders,” indicating a larger operation. This wasn’t his first run-in with the law, with six previous convictions, including cannabis supply.
Emily Bennett, the prosecutor, detailed the morning raid at the Portmead residence, where police discovered cash concealed throughout the house. A hidden stash of cannabis resin worth £10,000 was also found. However, emails seeking further details about the quantity of diazepam went unanswered.
The judge made it clear to Lewis that future involvement in drug activities would only bring harsher sentences. Despite entering guilty pleas, Lewis is now set for a 32-month prison stint, with the potential of being released on licence halfway through.
Locals are urged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to help keep communities safe. Let’s continue working together to tackle crime head-on! 💪🌿
