A cocaine dealer who rammed unmarked police cars told officers it was lucky he had not been driving something big like a Range Rover or he would have killed them all.
The undercover cops had to draw Tasers and use batons to smash car windows in order to arrest Zac Thomas and Ryan Abraham after they had tried to flee. Officers had been looking for Thomas after he had been seen carrying out a suspected drug deal in a car park behind a row of shops on a Swansea housing estate, an area know for drug activity.
Swansea Crown Court heard the ramming was the culmination of a sequence of events which began on the morning of September 28 this year in the Sketty Park area of Swansea. Sian Cutter, prosecuting, said plain clothes police officers patrolling on the estate in an unmarked car saw a woman with cash-in-hand making a call on her mobile before heading to the car park behind a parade of shops - "an area known for drug dealing".
