Cannabis dealer told: 'Pay thousands or go to jail'

A judge has warned a convicted drug dealer he will go to prison if he does not pay more than £5,000. Luke Prosser ran a cannabis operation from his mum's house and kept stolen motorbikes in his self-storage.

Wearing a grey sweatshirt with a NASA logo, the 23-year-old from Barry appeared at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday for a hearing to decide what would happen to his money from dealing cannabis and handling stolen goods. He had previously been handed a 12-month jail term suspended for two years.

Prosecutor Nigel Fryer said Prosser made £11,277.73 from his crimes but only had £5,475 available to pay the court. Police can also auction one of the stolen motorbikes he hoarded.
