A man who lost his job and then his flat during the Covid pandemic ended up addicted to drugs and working on behalf of a London crime gang, a court has heard.
Adrian Simjak was caught red-handed by police in Swansea with 45 ready-to-sell wraps of heroin and crack cocaine hidden up the sleeve of his jacket. An examination of his phone showed he had been in contact with a so-called county lines drugs operation and was operating as a "runner".
Sending the defendant to prison, a judge told him he had been caught with two "particularly insidious" drugs which he had been selling in the city on behalf of a London gang.
