When a heroin-dealing dad-of-six was arrested and his phone rang in custody it played a "Hello, I'm your drug dealer" ringtone, a court has heard.
David Owens had been caught red-handed selling heroin to a man on a Swansea street and was being dealt with by officers when the mobile went off. The customer he had sold drugs to ran off when police approached but was chased and detained.
Swansea Crown Court heard the pair were arrested in the Mount Pleasant area of the city on the afternoon of January 29 2020. Ian Wright, prosecuting, said plain-clothes officers were on patrol in the community when they saw two men on Portia Terrace conducting "an exchange".
