Turkey Teeth Selfie Tips Off Police, Dealer Busted

Coran Davies, 23, thought he was showing off his new pearly whites while sitting in a Turkish dentist’s chair. But his cheeky “Turkey teeth” selfie was the last smile he got before landing behind bars.

Snapped by Facial Recognition

Davies sent the pic to a mate whose phone was already under police scrutiny. Along with the selfie, there were texts about dealing cocaine and cannabis. Using facial recognition tech, cops tracked Davies down in March, stopping him in Tonypandy while he was driving. Dale Howell, 25, was in the car too. Both hail from Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taf.

  • Police found drugs and thousands in cash on the pair.
  • Davies admitted to cannabis supply, cocaine intent to supply, driving without a licence or insurance, and possessing criminal property.
  • Howell pleaded guilty to possessing criminal property and intent to supply cocaine.

Jail Time for Porth Pair

Davies was locked up for four years, while Howell got three.
