Drug dealer sold heroin and crack cocaine to undercover police officer

A drug dealer sold heroin and crack cocaine to an undercover police officer on two occasions. David Daley, 41, took part in an enterprise through the use of the "Lewis drugs line" in order to pay off a debt.

The police officer, known as Jack, was given access to the number on March 12, 2020, and contacted a Cardiff -based dealer the next day in order to buy heroin and crack cocaine. The officer was told to head behind the Premier Inn store in Corporation Road where he waited for the dealer.

While waiting, he received a market text from the Lewis line saying "business was open". Daley then rode up to the officer on a bike and produced a Kinder egg full of wraps which he dealt to the officer and others present, telling them to be careful because police were running operations in the area.
