A stonemason ended up sleeping in his car and selling heroin and cocaine to fellow addicts, a court has heard. Shaun Millan was caught after police became suspicious of what he was doing in a vehicle parked at the roadside in a Swansea housing estate. After a brief struggle the 45-year-old was detained and searched and was found to be carrying two knives.
Swansea Crown Court heard Millan has previous convictions for 76 offences – including four robberies – and first began taking drugs at the age of 14. However following his last term of imprisonment he had gone straight and started his own stonemasonry business.
Brian Simpson, prosecuting, said that at around 6pm on November 19 last year police officers on patrol in Woodford Road in Blaenymaes, Swansea, approached the open door of parked car to speak to the driver only for Millan to quickly try to close the door. After a "brief struggle" he was detained and searched and officers found he had flick knife in his jacket pocket and another knife stuffed down his trousers.
