A drug dealer was found with a block of cocaine worth up to £15,000 when police raided his Cardiff home. Their attention was drawn to the property after intelligence was received there had been drug dealing from the house.
Rhys Deguara, 33, was still in bed when police arrived at his home in Ball Road, Llanrumney, at around 7.30am on March 9. A search of the property resulted in the discovery of 157g of cocaine, 14g of cannabis, and £4,174 in cash.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday heard Deguara was also found in possession of an Alcatel burner phone and two other devices. When the burner phone was examined it was found to contain messages related to drug dealing.
