Dealer tried to hide package of cocaine up bottom during arrest

Nine cocaine and heroin dealers were jailed for a total of 30 years after they were snared by an undercover police officer.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard how all nine of the dealers were each individually brought down by an undercover officer, named "Jimmy". Prosecutor Nicola Williams told Judge Timothy Petts how 'Jimmy' arranged deals over phone lines "run from urban hubs" that were suspected to be involved in supplying drugs.

Liam Wignall, of Nequay Close in Runcorn, met 'Jimmy' in the Connah's Quay area to buy heroin on several different days over a course of two months. On December 21 last year, Wignall tried to flee from patrolling officers in Deeside who caught him in the area dealing out more Class A drugs, NorthWalesLive reports.
