A roofer who was wanted by two police forces was caught after men were seen "dealing drugs" outside of a primary school.
Sam Oliver, of Glangariff Street, Tuebrook, was on the run from Cheshire Police and was also wanted by police in Scotland when he was arrested by South Wales Police on January 10. Officers ended up executing a warrant at a property on Carreg Cennen Gardens after they saw suspicious activity, which they believe was drug dealing, outside Cwm Glas Primary School in Swansea.
Alycia Carpanini, prosecuting at Swansea Crown Court, said police were already in possession of a search warrant for the house and, having seen the male going inside, they decided to execute it immediately. The court heard that when officers entered the property they found two men from Liverpool inside and the defendant, Oliver, who tried to flee through the back door but was caught, WalesOnline reports.
