A dealer who went on the run after being arrested was caught out by police when they asked for his hand.
A Liverpool crime gang took over the home of a vulnerable couple and used it as a base for peddling the Class A drugs, sending two young men to the property to deal on their behalf. James Spindler, from Warrington, and Sam Oliver were arrested at the home and subsequently charged but Spindler then skipped bail and went on the run until he was found in Aberdeen using a false name.
Swansea Crown Court heard Spindler and Oliver were part of a "classic county lines operation". Alycia Carpanini, prosecuting, said on January 14 this year police officers from Swansea's organised crime team were conducting patrols when they saw suspicious activity involving a number of men and a car near a primary school, WalesOnline reports.
