Liverpudlian drug dealers were caught red-handed in Swansea with more than 800 heroin and crack cocaine deals ready to be supplied to users on the street, a court has heard. They were arrested by officers investigating a Merseyside organised crime group which was operating a drug supply network known to be operating in the city.
Both dealers have been locked up, as well as the vulnerable Swansea woman who allowed her house to be used as a base for their Class A drug dealing.
Kevin Jones, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that the background to the arrest of the dealers was an investigation by South Wales Police into an organised crime group from Liverpool which was running a drugs supply operation in Swansea known as the "Scouse Kev" line. He said that as part of the investigation officers from the organised crime team were in the Townhill area of the city on January 14 this year when they became suspicious of a man carrying a package who was constantly checking his mobile phone and looking over his shoulder.
