A cocaine and cannabis dealer was caught after he and an accomplice were seen by police selling drugs to a woman. When police seized the dealer's phone they found messages related to the sale of class A drugs.
Abdi Abdiaziz, 26, was driving a car in Cardiff on February 1, 2020, with his co-defendant Abdul Azziz Al-Ekely in the passenger seat. When they passed through the Riverside area of the city, police officers observed a woman getting in and out of the car and were suspicious of a drug deal taking place.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday heard police pulled over the car and spoke to the occupants. Following a search, Al-Ekely was found in possession of 21 half gram deals of cocaine, but when Abdiaziz was searched nothing was found on him.
