A teaching assistant found with almost £500 of cocaine claimed he was taking drugs to a friend's party but texts on his phone revealed he had been dealing. He was caught by police after he was seen throwing a package into a garden.
Tyrrell Webbe, 32, was spotted by police at 2am in Cardiff on March 20 last year and upon seeing the police vehicle, the defendant dropped something into a nearby garden. He was spoken to by police, who recovered a zip lock bag containing wraps of white powder.
An examination of the powder revealed it to be 12 wraps of cocaine weighing just under four grams, worth a street value of £480. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday also heard Webbe's Ford Fiesta, parked in Guenever Close, Thornhill, was also searched and a black iPhone was seized.
