Drug dealers found with more than £8,000 of heroin and cocaine were caught after a customer was found with drugs by police. Raids on their homes resulted in 160g of Class A drugs being seized.
Leonard Newman, 39, and Denzel Chakara, 21, were jailed for their part in a drugs operation which was discovered following the arrest of a customer on April 27. An officer on patrol in Llanharan, near Pontyclun, saw a drug deal taking place between two men, one being Newman, in Picton Terrace.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday heard the officer followed the customer, who upon being approached threw three wraps. These were retrieved and tested and found to be heroin and cocaine on which Newman's DNA was later found.
