Five Years Behind Bars for Class A Trafficker
A Newport man has been locked up for five years after police uncovered heroin and crack cocaine worth a staggering £175,000.
Matthew Roberts, 24, was caught following a raid on a property in Hendre Farm Drive, Ringland, last November. The bust was a joint effort between local neighbourhood officers and Gwent Police’s Serious Organised Crime unit.
Massive Haul Revealed in Police Raid
Authorities seized around 4.15 kilos of heroin and crack cocaine, along with mobile phones, weighing scales, cash, and the dealer’s car. Roberts had previously admitted to possession with intent to supply both drugs.
