A drug courier found carrying up to £15,000 worth of cannabis has been ordered to pay back just £141 despite making more than £21,000. He tried avoid responsibility for the haul and claimed he was "doing a favour for a friend".
Feriz Arifaj, 51, was caught red-handed by police with cannabis in freezer bags as he left a house in Cwmbran on June 12 last year. The defendant was seen leaving a black Mercedes and entering a house in Chapel Street.
He observed leaving two minutes later carrying two "heavy-laden" Aldi freezer bags and officers could smell cannabis. They approached Arifaj who look startled and placed the bags on the floor.
